”This week with Linköping Science Park and JUST Data have provided an ideal environment to deepen collaborations, experiment freely, integrate IoT and AI-based approaches. It will bring results and outcomes to a wider audience at the final showcase at Linköping Konsert & Kongress”
Ravi Kaur, Director ArtEO and Imperative Space
Transforming Goto10 into a co-creating and prototyping arena
With the support from Vinnova’s Advanced Digitalization, Linköping Science Park and IoT World – Goto10 in Linköping is being transformed by MTF Labs into a state-of-the-art international co-creating, team working and prototyping arena! For a whole week, artists and programmers have used urban sound design as a lens to explore issues of data justice and innovate new standards and practices across industry sectors. The event presents an extraordinary convergence of international thought leaders, industry experts, and renowned sound artists and musicians who together will go on a journey to explore and (re)invent “Sound for Urban Environments“. One of the main goals with MTF Labs is to bridge the gap between the arts and sciences, industry and academia.
The result of the whole week’s event will be shown on Saturday the 21st of September in collaboration with Visit Linköping, https://visitlinkoping.se/evenemang/the-future-sound-of-linkoping/.
Catching the sound of the flooding around the Danube with IoT-data
One interesting example from the week is Ravi Kapur from Imperative Space, working with IoT-data from the floods happening around the Danube.
“It’s a continuous process of R&D, led by artists”, says Ravi Kaur, Director of ArtEO and Imperative Space, before he continues:
”We are awash with ever-increasing pools of data about our changing environment and vulnerable ecosystems. Yet so much of this data remains inaccessible to all but a relatively small network of specialists. This is especially true of satellite Earth observation, which produces petabytes of data on every parameter of the Earth system and its ‘vital signs’.”
The aim of the ArtEO initiative (www.arteo.earth) is to unlock this vast treasure trove of information and bring it closer to artists and creative innovators in a form they can easily act on and work with.
ArtEO will be showcasing artworks that have emerged from the first phase of the initiative and will provide new data to the artists and designers collaborating at the MTFLabs JUST Data Week in Linköping. ArtEO fits perfectly with the approach of MTF, through its process of ‘continuous R&D, led by artists’, and aims to broaden the reach and impact of its artworks and process through new partnerships.”
