Fishface


 * Project Name:** Fishface Sensor Array
 * Project Credits:** Natalie Jermijenko

Fishface is a grid of fish detecting buoys for installation in the Hudson River near 15th St (below Chelsea piers) creating a low resolution display of the activity and flow conditions in a shoreline section of the river. The fish interface is communication technology for fish. It renders the presence or absence of the fish in its immediate vicinity, and provides an interface for humans to communicate with fish (and vice versa). Functionally, each device also contains a sonar transducer that lights up if there are fish present. A single fish swimming through the array appears as a series of lights sequentially marking its path; a school of fish will provide a drifting cloud of lights. See animation. Formally, the vector field of buoys translates the undulations and subsurface hydro dynamics of the river into more visible underbelly. Revealing this unseen movement in the Hudson makes a mesmerizing visual. Each of the buoys has low-power LEDs which at night can rival the reflections of the city's lights.
