What if we turned the piles of e‑waste in our city into kinetic street art—devices that run on solar panels and pulse to the beat of the city? You think it could be a statement or just a cool project?

Sounds wild and bold—like a neon protest. To keep the rhythm steady, start with a small, modular panel that runs on recycled batteries and uses an Arduino to sync to the subway's EMF pulses. That way you can tweak the timing without a full overhaul, and if something goes sideways you can swap out a single unit before the whole thing lights up. Give it a test run at a quiet station first, then crank up the volume for the grand debut.
