Summary
By collaboratively creating sensors capable of measuring subtle environmental changes like wind, temperature, and light, and then installing these around the city, the project collects information on microclimates not captured by the wide area data gathered by conventional meteorological agencies, and then makes it publicly available. The project also develops a system for converting the data to a perceptual experience of sound, light, and wind, and utilizes that experience for an art installation. The project attempts to regain knowledge of other species that is rooted in human modes of physicality in digital society, skewed as it is toward language and image.

One of CCBT’s core programs, the Art Incubation Program provides opportunities for creative talent to undertake new projects and makes those processes accessible to the public, facilitating forms of artistic expression, exploration, and action that change our city for the better. Selected through an open call, five artist fellows will act as CCBT partners, developing their projects, making the creative process public, exhibiting the results, and holding workshops and talks.
