Warning – real time global air quality display
Warning - Real Time Global Air Quality Display is an installation of ambient display that receives data from the internet about the air quality in 30 cities in 5 continents. The installation of these data is dynamically displayed on a screen and a physical structure through a lighting system (LED) located in a public space.

Motivation
• Digital aesthetics of climate change (Pold, 2010) – Artworks in digital art involving the issue of the
environment as a theme.
• Eco-visualization (Holmes, 2007) – can be defined as animations controlled by data that
show any kind of environmental information in real-time.

• The information visualization aims to expand knowledge through the development of effective visual metaphors for mapping abstract data (Card; Mackinlay; Shneiderman, 1999).

• “Information Visualization is abstract data communication through the use of interactive visual interfaces” (Keim et al, 2006)
• “uses computer graphics and interaction to help humans in solving problems” (Purchase et al, 2008).

Possibilities
• The art and technology in encouraging debate on environmental issues.
• Lack of global standardization of air quality index.
• Looking beyond the traditional use of the screen as an interface.

Positive Hypothesis
• Interface non-screen-based + softwares and hardwares open-source -> new aesthetic experiences built and coded with low cost.
