There are Three Versions Online you need shockwave installed to view them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is the city truly emergent? Can the city be called an organism? If so, then what can be determined about the validity of the city experience in relation to its 'character', or 'soul', or spirit'? Le Corbusier suggested that a city has soul. I want to find the Soul Of The City. Here the city "soul", is represented by live data feeds from wireless sensor networks and data streams. This visualisation is showing the stressed city space. The changing parameters are what changes in the city; ie the temperature, light, noise data and chemical changes. Exhibitions.

Contexts: "The city is a web of connected networks. In essence, the city fabric is a giant multi-user, multi-data sphere. The city is made up of traffic patterns, pedestrian patterns, bird flocking patterns. Patterns can be seen in the architecture, patterns in the buildings, patterns in the architectural fabric of the urban design network. The patterns we make, the forces we weave, are all being networked into retrievable data structures that can be re-imagined and sourced for information. These patterns all disclose new ways of seeing the world.So we need to imagine the city at a different scale. There is possibility is to extend our imagination and enable that perception of the city as a dynamic network. We can now put systems in place that can re–employ our perception and thus create new understanding of how this behaviour unfolds." Stanza 2004 Keywords: networked, generative, installation, artwork,
