The tree’s side of the story: “I’m a tree and this is my feed.” #environment #data #ubicomp #EOS via @contagiousmag
I quite like this little installation from EOS magazine: a 100 year old tree is telling us how it feels and sharing videos, photos and music.
Here’s a summary from gizmowatch: “As a collaboration between EOS Magazine and Happiness Brussels, a 100 years old tree has been made to talk on twitter, Facebook, flickr and Soundcloud, just like us. However, the only difference here is that this tree has been fitted with dust meter, ozone meter, light meter, weather station, webcam and a microphone and as you know we are not. The data from all the the equipment is translated into our language, which is then delivered on all the sites that I just mentioned. And, it has a website too called the Talking Tree and now, I know, how a tree feels when there aren’t many cars around or a tree has CO2, diesel fumes and some nox for breakfast.”
