Corpora in Si(gh)te

We’re making additonal progress, both in terms of software and installation. Now the Corpora generator engine runs in an initial setup, but no real sensor data is processed as yet. Camera inputs are also working, as well as controlling our new camera using servo motors. Of course the old network cameras work as well. We can read data from the motes as well, they work quite reliably.

The Corpora system arrived from the Budapest Kunsthalle to Venice at the end of the last week, and yesterday, finally the core members of doubleNegative Architecture could start working on the installation of the project.
