netChimes is a globally distibuted, wind-actuated instrument (a collection of sensor nodes) streaming ambient, real-time control data across the network. This data may be incorporated into a variety of projects which require indeterminate control structures to realize mediated experiences. Preliminary research began in 2016, though the project is being redesigned with new hardware and software for relaunch in Spring 2027. There is currently one live node located in Buffalo, NY. Additional nodes will be added in early 2027 in Seattle, WA and Stockholm, Sweden. Nodes will also spread throughout the Western NY area in 2027. This site provides a simple visualizion and sonification of chime activity. Firefox is your best bet for a glitch-free experience.
Note, if there is no wind, there is no data. If there is no wind, there is no experience.
