Living with the Internet of Things

We are already living with the Internet of Things (IoT). Objects like your TV and smart phone, bus services, kettles, even the Australian Great Barrier Reef – anything really! – can be interconnected via the internet. Find out about the movement of data and people, and what you can or cannot influence. Expect a mix of interactions with data, objects and people – including yourself and your data.

The Listening Wood and Tales of the Park
Martin de Jode, Leah Lovett, Duncan Hay, Andy Hudson-Smith, University College London
Take a stroll through the woods. Use your phone and the key words to unlock the stories of the trees and the gnomes. Does the gnome know something about you already? These works use chatbot technology to create conversations.

GeoPact
Dave Murray-Rust, Ella Tallyn, University of Edinburgh
Have you heard about Blockchain? Unsure about what it is? Enter into a GeoPact to experience and question the researchers about a fusion between location-based and blockchain technologies. Figure out if the smart objects are where they say they are and track locations without invading privacy.

Living Room of the Future
Paul Coulton, Joe Lindley and Adrian Gradinar, Lancaster University in collaboration with BBC R&D
Step into the Living Room of the Future and experience how everyday objects, like your TV, central heating, lights and curtains, might work together to provide a new, immersive experience which is personalised for you based on your collected data. Think about how your personal data is used and shared. Interactive talks throughout the day.

Human Sensor and Coral Love Story
Artist Kasia Molga explores wearable technologies to make the effects of climate change less remote.
Human Sensor
An illuminated super-hero costume measures air quality and pollution. The Human Sensor captures Nitric Oxide data from her exhaled breath, creating light patterns to warn her fellow city dwellers, sharing the chemical and geo-location data on an IoT platform.

Coral Love Story
A responsive wearable that can react in real time to coral reef bleaching alerts, informing the viewer by changing the pattern of the wearable from colour to transparent, felt through vibrations from tiny motors.

Data Feeders and Move for Me Baby
Artist Nye Thompson plays with IoT technology and data, imagining an audience of humans and sentient machines, aware and capable of feeling.
Data Feeders
Imagine you are a connected device – data is your lifeblood, your fuel, your currency – how will you use it? Become a node on the Internet of Things and feature in a live drawing performance.

Move for Me Baby
In the future it’s not just your family and pets that demand your attention – a global network of needy devices is growing! Thompson’s playful interactive sculpture insists that you take notice.

Discuss
10 minute talks followed by discussion.

Saturday 9 February

Smart Utopia
Ed Moxon, Cyber Security Centre, University of Warwick
Citizens of the future! Enjoy your cyber-enabled services: smart transport systems, bus trackers, intelligent building management systems. It’s Utopia. But what happens when Utopia is under attack? Discuss the controls of citizen services and how vulnerable these might be.

Karma Kettles
Larissa Pschetz, Chris Speed, University of Edinburgh
Can your kettle do more than just boil the water? Play the Karma Kettles game. It shows how we might store and trade energy in the future. Make decisions on storing energy and giving back to the grid. But don’t get into negative karma!
