Metropath(ologies)

Metropath(ologies) was an installation at the MIT museum that researched on how we deal with the data that bombards us every day, how we perceive other people’s information online, and how we react to a world overflowed by data and constant communication were we do not have real control of our own data. The exhibition consisted of a forest of 45 columns used to project online information. The images were complemented with a soundtrack made by a synthesized voice reading information extracted from the internet. Additionally, there were three screens in the installation. The first screen allowed the visitors to enter someone’s name and outputted a data graphic built with that person’s online information. The name was also added to the soundtrack; therefore at any moment the person’s name, address and phone number may have been read out loud by the synthesized voice. The second screen displayed a realtime video of the exhibition, recorded by a surveillance camera. A ghost image made out of information was superimposed in the images as if it was actually moving between the columns along with the visitors. The third screen displayed a virtual animation of a city built out of columns of data that people put online (twitter, facebook). The images of the visitors were superimposed as if they were the inhabitants of this data city. **Input:** Recorded images, typed names and online information **Output:** Image projection and sound .......................................................................................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................................................................................... media type="custom" key="10772696" [] [] [] []
