Surveillance technology is powerful and ubiquitous. What if we could harness it to take care of our planet and grow closer to nature?
ARTiVIS is a research collective that develops interactive art explorations that use real-time video to create awareness about environmental sustainability issues. By combining easily available open hardware parts with custom open-source software, we have developed a flexible low-cost video streaming kit that allows experimentation with the creative and civic possibilities of real-time video streaming.
Beyond its use on the ARTiVIS-artworks, the kit’s development has been shared through community workshops, like the one at Interface Cultures documented and demonstrated here, where fundamentals were taught through creative exploratory projects.
