The idea of this installation was to show how a city (Milton Keynes) looks through the data it generates, and to reflect on the concept, ideas and potential pitfalls of the increasing move towards smart cities. This relied on data from the MK Data Hub to create a visual and sonic experience for residents of Milton Keynes to be able perceive the usually invisible aspects of the city’s infrastructure (including the energy and water distribution networks). As a sustainable element of this initiative, the Ground Resistance website enables exploring more of these data, and the divide that exists in terms of data provision for different areas of the city. |
