Ivory
This project introduces a physical interface to sense the state of the air. Inspired by the miner’s canary, which was used to detect hazardous atmospheres in shafts, we designed and implemented a shape-changing interface enriched with sound to express particulate matter levels (PM 2.5). IVORY is intended to be a mediator for visualizing air quality levels and to address human-atmosphere interrelationships.
A project by Jessica Broscheit in cooperation with Benjamin Salewski.
