How It’s Made: Where Science Meets Art to Inspire and Educate!
Ever wondered how data is collected on walking, cycling, and public transport? How It’s Made brings together scientists, artists, and the community to explore how the Internet of Things (IoT) can keep us healthier, safer, and more environmentally aware. This unique STEAM project connects science and the arts to break down complex technology in a way that’s accessible and engaging, helping demystify IoT devices and showing how they can improve urban life and traffic systems to reduce congestion and accidents.
Science experts like Dr. John Gallagher and Brian Caulfield of Trinity College, along with curator Valeria Ceregini, will partner with the SCÉAL Arts Collective, guiding artists through the technical elements of IoT and urban transportation systems. The artists will then be invited to interpret and express these insights creatively, resulting in captivating artworks or performances across various media.
Workshops may be offered, with options to include existing works or create new ones in response to the experience. How It’s Made will be an incredible opportunity to see technology from a new angle, through the eyes of the artists who bring it to life.
Stay tuned for this exciting fusion of science, technology, and art—where innovation meets imagination!
