Sensor networksin art and entertainment
ENS theory, devices, and systems operate at extremely relevant social & aesthetic boundaries.
Art and entertainment applicationscan provoke relevant fundamental ENS research.

What conceptual models are needed for artists/designers to express desired
relationships between sensed phenomena and available outputs?
How can research and deployment of ENS systems consider all the purposes of built
environments, including the functional, aesthetic, social, and cultural?
What types of domain knowledge about observed environments available from
artists/designer and most useful in system design?
ENS Research will find itself at this boundary

• ENS as pervasive interfaces to rhythm and scale of activity– Observation of what’s encountered– Feedback on what’s designed– Prioproception within systems themselves
• ENS can act as external observer or integral design component– Define quadrants for research along axes of virtual/physical and
designed/observed.– Timely and relevant to communication (mass/local) and new physical
construction.
• Research impacts – Built environments and experiences (and the systems that enable them) have
functional, social and aesthetic considerations– ENS often considered as HCI– Integration with media and control– Sensitivities are different (in both mathematical and non-technical sense)– Deployment requirements are unique to the (sub)domains– Software
