How do our methods of measurement reveal our values?
Measure, an exhibition at the Storefront for Art and Architecture, invited 32 architects and 5 artist groups to produce an artwork that challenges methods of architectural representation, data visualization, and quantification to trace, map, and react to the role of information in public and private space.

Featured Project: InSeE’
InSeE’ (Interactive Soundscape Environment), focuses on sonification and visualization of soundscape data captured by an urban sensor network technology. The project aimed to create real-time, dynamic “soundmaps” to augment existing digital cartographic technologies. In this piece, InSeE’ zooms into Storefront for Art and Architecture’s walking area (interior and exterior) to capture soundscape information—noise and spatial-acoustic energies—through immediate, short-term, and long-term dynamic mapping strategies. By 'sonifying" real-time noise data into harmonic spectrums that trail the sounds of the streetscape, the installation aims to bring awareness to spatio-temporal and non-ocular measurements through artistic media enabled by a series of sensors located in the gallery.
