PigeonBlog
Beatriz da Costa with Cina Hazegh and Kevin Ponto (US)
Prix Ars Electronica 2007 “Hybrid Art. Honorary Mention.”
PigeonBlog enlists homing pigeons to participate in a grassroots scientific data gathering initiative designed to collect and distribute information about air quality conditions to the general public. Pigeons are equipped with custom-built miniature air pollution sensing devices enabled to send the collected localized information to an online server without delay. Pollution levels are visualized and plotted in real-time over Google’s mapping environment, thus allowing immediate access to the collected information to anyone with connection to the Internet.
