Breathe Better at the Bus Stop

Digital

Digital display

Bus stops are often placed on polluted roads, but air quality data is usually too broad or technical to help people while waiting. Even around the same bus stop, significantly cleaner air can be just a few steps away, but passengers will only move if the advice is simple, immediate, and does not risk missing their bus. I designed a working digital bus stop display that combines multiple real-time data sources to identify the cleanest nearby place to wait.

Visual Music

Visual music is the translation of sound into moving image, characterised by abstract form. Yet despite its seemingly apolitical nature, this medium has repeatedly flourished within radical countercultural contexts, from state censorship during the rise of European fascism in the early twentieth century, to the hallucinogenic happenings of the 1960s, and the VJ culture of the illegal rave scenes of the 1990s. Visual Music seeks to resolve the paradox of why a movement defined by its rejection of semantic depiction attracted such political suppression and countercultural energy throughout the twentieth century.
