Eco-Art+Science Tech Help?

I am seeking creative-technical assistance on a series of eco-art-science
projects that I'm starting to work on. I thought that this list might be
the place to ask.

I am beginning a new, long-term series of creative works which involve
environmental sensing, web mapping interaction and various sound or image
display. I can learn as I go, but my programming abilities are limited,
and I'd very much like to work with others with shared interest in
creative approaches to complex eco-information understandings.

I have just received initial funding of a small project: "Ground Truth",
which will probably utilize ZigBee (SquidBee) wireless sensors, a Google
Earth mapping site for public interaction, and text-to-speech output.

There are many directions and applications for this project, and I expect
to be able to get funding and find regional installation opportunities
that address critical current eco-issues (water, climate change, etc.)

If anyone on this list is interested, or knows someone who may be
interested in technically helping, please be in touch with me personally.
Thanks.
Richard

Richard, you might try the MISP list as well. You can subscribe at
www.altMediaNM.org (contact page), or if you like I'll post this on
your behalf. More specifically, Eric Whitmore, the ARTSLab
coordinator at UNM and a Friam lurker, might have some ideas or even
a possible support role for ARTSLab or the Art/Technology Center.
This sounds like a great project; keep me posted please.

Eco-Art+Science Tech Help?

In reply to this post by Richard Lowenberg

The visual display of real system structures and behaviors is a great
new field. I've found that the tools people are using are somewhat
programming intensive however. The NetSci people are doing marvelous
things and I posted some links a month or so ago on FRIAM. I'm more
into the fundamental methods side of recognizing natural systems and
their behaviors. See if my approach to identifying natural system
'cybernetic body parts' and 'phases of emergence' and the links to
NetSci, SASO and IWSC communities from http://www.synapse9.com/PICS.htm
helps. One direct application I developed recently is an energy use
measure for planners and developers doing sustainable design
http://www.synapse9.com/design/dollarshadow.htm which employs the
'shocking' discovery that producing $'s uses the same amount of energy
all over the world to draw the big picture... Maybe that's too much all
at once..., but if you like something and have some idea to test out I'd
be happy to make suggestions.
