Interactive Signalling

This project aims to sensitize and raise awareness of pollution in the form of invisible signals that are emitted into our environment.  We use our smartphones, phablets, tablets and computers without thinking of any negative consequences. To demonstrate the problem, we have built an immersive and interactive art installation to show these digital emissions by using a mixture of images and sound. The audience engages with the art by scanning a QR code.  A real-time application opens on their smart device and by selecting a colour on the app the participant can visualize its digital impact in the chosen colour. The data collected is consolidated to a database on the cloud and subsequently processed to produce a visual and auditory experience.

As a post-mortem to this project, we filmed a demonstration in the Visualisation Studio which added a touch experience to better understand our impact on the environment.
