Pollution, lack of greenery, and congestion are key environmental factors that impact negatively on the day-to-day existence of city dwellers and their long-term health. A recent study by King’s College London revealed that nearly 9,500 people die a year as a result of air pollution in London alone.
Human Sensor is a large-scale digital and performance artwork from award-winning artist and creative technologist Kasia Molga. This exhibit demonstrates the creative technology used in the recently premiered Human Sensor LDN project exploring London’s inhabitants’ daily exposure to air pollution through a combination of cutting-edge wearable technology and immersive theater.
Wearables created by Kasia Molga and her team (Ricardo O’Nascimento and Erik Overmeire). Performance directed by Kasia Molga in collaboration with Ruth Jones and air pollution scientist Professor Frank Kelly. Human Sensor LDN was commissioned by Invisible Dust and Euston Town BID (Business Improvement District).
