Prosthetic Sensorium

The vast amounts of data gathered through environmental monitoring are commonly captured in charts, diagrams and computational simulations, disallowing a physical immersion into the observed space. Jan Christian Schulz expands current methodologies of data-tangibility through an inflatable structure equipped with vibration sensors and microphones that collects activities of geospatially distant ecosystems. This object acts as a prosthetic extension of the human body for mediating ecological sensitivity. Capturing real-time transformations within the biosphere, recording the presence of migrating species, and listening to complex interactions of weather phenomena, Prosthetic Sensorium transmits a living orchestra that allows experiencing an environment with its inhabiting entities.
