Sensing, Probes, Detectors Some Examples

* Smog Tasting by The Center for Genomic Gastronomy - "Smog Tasting uses egg foams to harvest air pollution. Smog from different locations can be tasted and compared." * | Moist Sense by Lifepatch - "an installation that tries to present the health of plants from their supply of water" * | Camera Obscura et les artefacts de l'invisible by Vanessa Lorenzo - "By merging electronic media and citizen science, this research and interactive installation uses bio reporters as a tool to gain understanding of a microbe’s perception of the Anthropocene." * | Bio-Dis-Plays by Richard Lowen and ccollaborators - "bio-electric sensing/transducing of the human body and other living systems, and art-science collaborations", and a 2011 interview by | Data Garden, who also works with interspecies communication
