'Dowsing Invisible Cities', Leeds Psychogeography Group Talk, Feb 28th
Talk by Ben Dalton
Dear All,
Here are the details for the next LPG talk:
Tues February 28th, 5.15pm, University of Leeds
Full Title: Dowsing Invisible Cities
Abstract:
Ben presents several projects he has worked on that attempt to reveal
hidden aspects of city life. He will be talking about the ghosts of
wasted heat, contrails of fashion choices, traces of acoustic detail,
digital maps of playful crowds and music for forgotten buildings. The
technologies he uses include CCTV computer vision, mechanical bubble
machines, GPS apps, inflatables, hand soldered binaural microphones,
openstreetmap data, building-sized displays, arduinos, laser-cut
stencils, pocket-sized screens, digital projectors and hastily
installed & poorly understood GIS software.
