20 Pixels of Data Workshop

Abstract

The 20 Pixels of Data Workshop is a proposal to make a simple LED matrix of 4x5 pixels measuring 1.60m width and 2.00m height, and to create data visualization of the local context. The idea is to work collectively with perception of the environment and representation of information, making digital data more accessible and visible to a broader audience in an architectural space. The pixels will be made of cardboard boxes and LED strip, controlled by an Arduino board with relay modules and sensors. The Workshop aims to empower communities to build their own media device to share graphical information and representation of the environment.
