Community Mapping Workshop
Sensing Pollution in London Fields

Wednesday 9th November, 2-5pm
Space Media Arts, 129-131 Mare Street E8 3RH http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newprint.srf? 
x=534870&y=184067&z=1&searchp=newprint.srf&mapp=newmap.srf&dn=722&ax=534

Proboscis is running a Bodystorming workshop to map some of the known  
and visible pollution issues in and around London Fields. We will use  
this to explore the invisible pollution issues - air quality,  
historic industrial pollution etc - that may not be obvious. We will  
demonstrate a ready-made Feral Robot and experimental sensors we are  
developing with Birkbeck College that can upload sensor traces to the  
Urban Tapestries public authoring system. The Guardian recently  
published a short article on the Feral Robots, "Robots with a nose  
for trouble": http://technology.guardian.co.uk/weekly/story/0,16376,1595600,00.html

There are 25 places available on the workshop for local residents,  
workers and users of London Fields. If you live or work in, or use  
London Fields and would like to participate, please sign up here:

We particularly welcome people who are neither artists nor  
technologists, but who are simply interested or concerned about local  
pollution and would like to participate in imagining new ways of  
taking action.
