Audio samples, stereo amplifier, speakers and subwoofer, flashlight, aerial photograph enclosed in acrylic sheet, computer, infrared camera, custom software, pollution geodata


This work was installed in a darkened room at the Work * Ann Arbor Gallery for the show (re)Mapping. A provided flashlight allowed viewers to illuminate a printed aerial photograph mosaic of the heavily polluted Gary, Indiana industrial region. Custom software, running on a computer hidden from view, used an infrared camera to track the position of the flashlight beam on the photograph. Using pollution geodata collected from multiple government sources, as well as sound samples that represent different types of pollution, the software generates a real-time audio representation of pollution sources located within the illuminated area of the aerial photograph.

Categories of data represented by the sound map:

* Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) Sites
* Major Polluters (NPDES Major)
* Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST)
* Brownfields
* Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) Sites
* Slag Dumps
* Point Discharge (PD) Locations
