VersuS: love vs turin, visualizing the realtime lives of cities
www.artisopensource.net/2011/10/16/versus-rome-october-15...
How do people express their emotions on social networks?
Information has become ubiquitously accessible, thus transforming our perception of cities and of the ways we work, learn, communicate and relate to other people.
VersuS analyzes the digital lives of cities to suggest a scenario in which digital and analog realities interweave and become one.
By performing realtime content harvesting on social networks we are able to perform natural language analyses on the conversations running between users, to peek into their emotions, wishes, expectations and desires.
We can make this information available and accessible using information visualizations, mobile applications and generative design artifacts, thus creating the tools which enable the creation of a new form of public space which merges the digital and analog lives of people, transforming them into active agents in a new idea of citizenship, enabling novel forms of expression and representation.
In "love VS turin", we focus on an emotional approach, visualizing the expressions of love and passion of the citizens of the city of Turin, in a realtime collective conversation.
The visualization is put side by side with 3D objects produced using various digital fabrication techniques, and which represent a tangible representation of the emotional condition of the whole territory of the city of Turin.
"Love" can be replaced with other emotions, thus enabling scenarios of focal importance for ecology, public administrations, security, economy and the overall possibility to evaluate the wellness of the people on a certain territory.
VersuS is designed as an evocative tool for people, institutions and organizations, fostering the creation of new, positive, imaginaries for the future of our lives and our relation with the planet and with our fellow human beings.
VersuS is a concept by Art is Open Source and FakePress Publishing, and it is part of the ConnectiCity initiative.
It has been created together with the Fablab Italia and with the Piemonte Share Festival, in a transdisciplinary process in which arts and sciences collaborate to the creation of innovative, breakthrough, scenarios.
VersuS will be officially presented at the 2011 edition of the Piemonte Share Festival together with the Fablab Italia.

Beaches are alive... continuously changing every day and every night. Tides and waves bring in organisms from all depths to the beach and back out again constantly churning up nutrients and minerals. Contrary to popular belief, beaches are some of the most diverse habitats on the planet. Beaches are especially productive as breeding grounds for organisms such as turtles, crabs, and birds. These sandy areas also double as efficient feeding grounds for birds and crustaceans.
Not to mention ,the beach is the most popular vacation destination for Americans with 58.67 million people visiting every year.

The duck in the video above recently began visiting the duck pond at The Reserve at Forest Hills at the corner of Darlington Ave and Covil here in Wilmington NC February 11th 2018. This particular pond is a home to many waterfowl that come and go. Spotted in this community include; Canadian geese, Greater white geese, Mallard ducks, Blue heron, Snowy egrets, Hooded merganser, Little blue heron, and the occasional Sandpiper.
Cairina Moschata more commonly known as the Muscovy Duck originate in South America but can be found naturally in the wild in Southern Texas since the 1980s. The Muscovy Duck is widespread throughout the world in domesticated settings for their meat and eggs. They resemble a goose in size and the male can reach up to 7 kg. Small feral populations throughout the United States but particularly in Florida are reported, and are considered to be invasive by the Florida Fish and Wildlife conservation Commission. An invasive species is a species that is not native to an area, and is more popularly defined as a nonnative species that is harmful to the native wildlife or environment. Although Muscovy ducks are not that different from your typical mallard, and have even been bred with mallards to increase mallard size . However they can have a very negative impact on bird species that they share their wetland ecosystems. Not only do they often displace native species but they also are known to carry a disease called duck viral enteritis. This disease is not normally encountered by native birds and can cause devastation to their communities. Consider the competitive exclusion principle, where Muscovy and other wetland birds compete for the same resource. Unfortunately Muscovy are well adapted to their wetland environments and as an invasive species often displace or exclude the native species. We could predict a inter-specific competition to be scramble exploitative, where both species have access but Muscovy are better adapted to use more of the resource, pushing out other species out . The result in Southern Florida has been many debates on the best method to rid themselves of Muscovy ducks, and demand for laws to address humane ways to do so. Considering the effect the Muscovy duck can have on local bird populations finding an appropriate way to contain them as domestic species and reduce their feral populations.

(Behind UNCW campus) I spotted this Buck Moth (Quercus laurifolia) caterpillar behind UNCW campus. The Buck Moth spends much of its juvenile stage on Oak trees canopies feeding on leaves. Normally this feeding is not life-threatening for the oak but year after year of heavy feeding will damage the tree. Six to eight weeks after hatching the caterpillars drop from the tree and look for places to pupate. At this point Buck Moth Caterpillars rely on their spines to protect themselves from predators. The spines are hollow and connected to a poison sac and can cause painful stings. These spines are known as constitutive defenses.
