Sculpture hub: Sculpture hub as installed on the tree in the gallery.
Pod: Ecosenors installed on the tree, capturing data from its environment
The eco sensors are installed unobtrusively onto the trunk of a tree and are WIFI enabled. They send sensor readings (soil temperature, soil humidity, particulate (.1 μm – 10 μm), lux (light level), air humidity/pressure/altitude, wind, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)/C02, and rain) to an Internet of Things platform (IoT), which can be harvested and materialised in any location in the world. The visualization is programmed using three.js and visualizes the sensor data. The visualization represents 24 hours of a tree's life as well as contemporary readings.
