London artist Stanza's installation, Out of Breath, critiques urban pollution and environmental integrity by transforming NO2 data from 120 cities into an audiovisual performance. The artwork simulates a tree's breathing, illustrating the tension between environmental health and human behavior. Stanza utilizes a sophisticated IoT platform and machine learning to interpret real-time pollution data, revealing connections between cities and their ecological states. Exhibited in Trondheim Park (2021) and upcoming in Noor Riyadh (2024), the project emphasizes the ethical implications of data usage and our shared role in addressing pollution.
Out of Breath is a public artwork by Stanza that highlights urban pollution through a synchronized audiovisual performance, representing trees' responses to the environmental crisis.
Stanza's Out of Breath harnesses NO2 data gathered from 120 world cities, reflecting the invisible connections between pollution and ecological health in a unique visual format.
Through a machine learning algorithm, Out of Breath translates pollution data into visual patterns, questioning how our behaviors impact the environment and challenging viewers to contemplate their role.
By engaging real-time data, Stanza’s work aims to foster a deeper understanding of the ecological impact of urbanization and our collective responsibility towards the environment.
