City Voices is part of “Extended Senses” – an exhibition that combines Internet of Things (IoT), data from the cities, and a final artistic installation. The final outcome is shown in Helsingør in April and Helsingborg in June.
The intention of this project is to raise general awareness about tech and sustainability, giving the citizens a feeling of the state of the two cities . The IoT sensors will detect the following: temperature, air pollution, air pressure, humidity, and noise. Citizens have access to a dashboard where they can input their daily mood (🙂 😐 🙁). All this data will be manipulated and expressed through a light installation crafted by two Swedish artists.
Students from BGK Artlab and U/Nord HTX are taking care of the sensors and they are interpreting the incoming data from Helsingør. To create a common awareness of our nature, the students write about their thoughts about having the extended sensor system with them throughout April. They share it online and with exhibition visitors on this website.
Body & Sensor data
Body & Sensor Data is where the sensor caretakers are posting their thoughts and insights related to their exploring process within three different topics: Sensor Data Discovery (Bodystorming), Mood and Data Correlation (Colorful Emotions), and City Nature (Sensing Nature).
All of these topics fall into a discovery process where the students are gaining knowledge and spreading their outcomes out here.
Future of IoT
Future of IoT is the place where the caretakers use their obtained know-how about the connection between sensors and nature.
Many ideas and different active propositions are posted: the future of technology, how humans and their environment are intertwined, and even how a more sustainable future might be possible with the help of Internet of Things devices.
Open Discussion
Open Discussion is a place where students freely share their insights about unexpected topics they find during their caretaker journey. Here it is also possible to share some custom DIY ideas for the sensors cases, previously provided to them.
