Internet of Anonymous Things
The world we live in has become a semi-digital environment and through Quantified Self technology our bodies are also part of the Internet of things. Everything has turned into data. What does that mean for us humans with our analog senses? Will Big Brother be the only one understanding the infinitely growing amount of Big Data we're producing?
To test if we humans are capable to read, understand and live in such a world of data, we're launching a challenge. Thanks to a new "IoT" network already covering the whole of Amsterdam we've been able to instal a set of sensors throughout the city. This website will collect all the data from these sensors - anonymously! Can you guess what they're measuring? What's the story these sensors are telling us? Do they monitor temperature, humidity, emotion or movement? Do they track the speed of tram 17 or your cat's nightly paths? Or are -YOU- being tracked?
