Data Canvas: Let’s Get Started Workshop,– Lecture – “DIY Environmental Sensing & Creative Coding for Art and Awareness aka How to turn Spreadsheets into Techno”

As part of Data Canvas: Sense Your City, 100 DIY sensors have been deployed across seven cities and three continents to empower and utilize open data from the environment around them. Now it’s time for you to take this open data and tell a story creatively!

On February 6, we made the live data streams public and launched the Data Art Challenge. Over the course of seven weeks, people from around the world are invited to find imaginative ways to tell stories with and about the data by building images, live visualizations, videos, or anything else they can imagine and make.

We invite you to join the San Francisco Bay Area community on February 22 to work on your own project for the Data Art Challenge, get guidance from experts in the field, and participate in tutorial sessions in cutting-edge data visualization tools.
