Internet of Fish
The Internet of Fish (IoF) is a conceptual platform which combines the powers of bioacoustic telemetry and Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) in order to enable the monitoring of fish on marine farms. Proposed in 2018 by Norwegian researchers, the IoF concept would be utilized to update commercial aquaculturists and fish farmers in real time so as to allow for more efficient behavioural monitoring of their stock. The IoF would function by leveraging LoRa (Long Range wireless data protocol with low power modulation) based LPWAN to provide access to the bioacoustic telemetry data of fish stock. LPWANs are integral in the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), and help enable communication between devices over long distances for long periods of time. In order to work underwater, researchers implemented the use of a LoRa Add-on Module (LAM) in order to provide LoRa radio support to the underwater acoustic receivers. By leveraging cutting edge IoT technologies, IoF has the potential to provide an update to many of the antiquated marine monitoring, but requires development beyond the conceptual stage.

Air Pollution Robot
The dangers of air pollution to human health are well documented, though the traditional methodology of collecting and reporting on sample lags behind the need to keep abreast and regulate air pollution in a meaningful amount of time. The use of drones and robots have been identified by researchers as resources that can be tweaked […]

Telematic Rivers
Erica Kermani’s artwork seeks to answer a central question: if rivers were seeing an equal, living entity, would humans take issues like climate change threatening them more seriously? In his year-long art exhibition in 2017, Kermani, in collaboration with Diana Salcedo & Jeana Chesnik, created a new forum of interaction between humans and rivers to […]

Co-occupied Boundaries
Art is easily found in nature but rarely is what considered art today inherently natural. The concept of co-occupied mediums that serve to be both functional for nature and aesthetically pleasing to people is being actively explored by Asya Ilgun and Phil Ayres, from the CITAstudio at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In […]
