Building a Participatory Infrastructure;

The thesis sets out to investigate, question, and iterate upon the possibilities of collective environmental action and accessible information through an individual’s sensing practice.

What are non-centralized, human-specific methods of sensing our immediate environment?

The work aims to redefine the sensing practice in daily routine and map the contamination zones of their community.

Simultaneously, the thesis is testing how making illegible ecosystems legible to the observer may result in a shift in one’s perception about one’s environment, generate participatory infrastructures, and, ultimately, cultivate a deeper con- nection to one’s community.
