Airbare is a data art project that visualizes data
collected from air quality sensors in the city of
Louisville. The project layers our view of the world
with air particles that have been amplified, almost
as if seeing them through a microscope. An
element of gamification allows the users to learn
more about what causes air pollution and what
can be done to reverse it on our end.
