Ambient Recordings

Now that we’ve explored manual sensing and observation, let’s start collecting our own environmental data using sensors. Building on the tools and examples we’ve demonstrated in class, gather data from your local environment using a sensor/sensing setup of your choice using your Arduino or microcontroller paired with a temperature, humidity, soil moisture, light sensor or other sensor that suits your specific needs. This could be as simple or advanced as your skills allow. The key is to collect local, situated data, and begin to think about what it means to sense the world through your own machines.
