In collaboration with Ben Anderson

The installation shows air quality (PM2.5) data from 10 Cities in China in real time and displayed into small
LCD screens which are attached to microprocessors and balloons. An application was developed on Amarino, which is a toolkit to connect Android-driven mobile devices with Arduino microcontrollers via Bluetooth. The toolkit provides easy access to internal phone events which can be further processed on the Arduino open-source prototyping platform. So, basically through the application we are able to retrieve data from a website containing the main Chinese Cities air quality via
Bluetooth and program this data on the small LCD screens. |
