What is SenseBus? What is SenseBus?SenseBus is a collaboratively built, interactive sensory environment. It uses a networking scheme that allows technologies found in the average home to share sense information in a distributed network of sensory modules. There is no central "brain". There are no screens, mice or keyboards. The system senses and expresses through touch, light and sound in interaction with visitors to the space.
How SenseBus came to be.SenseBus, which is a project of the Art and Robotics Group (ARG), is an experiment in artistic practice. The SenseBus Installation was conceived and built by the 11 members of the Concept and Installation Team as a proof of concept for the SenseBus Workshops which were launched with A Call For Participation in November 1998. Fifty curious people attended the SenseBus inaugration gathering . Biweekly meetings with twenty participants featured continuing discussions about contemporary technolgy with the goal of producing a collabortive installation. The techniques of brainstorming, drawing, and show-and-tell were used to develop diagrams of our ideal Sensebus inputs and outputs. A series of "Flintstone Electronics Workshops" developed our electronics skills. Between meetings we developed ideas in an open discussion forum on the internet. The meetings increased frequency to weekly sessions and by March the group coalesced to eleven members willing to spend evenings and weekends designing, building and programming the Sensebus installation.Please Touch!
