Workshop Statement

SenseStage is a new, open source wireless sensor network hardware and software infrastructure designed specifically for artists, designers and architects who are working in the arena of real time applications. The infrastructure consists of (1) a small, wireless sensor board that can be programmed based on the needs of its application and (2) an open source software environment that facilitates the creation and practice of collaborative interactive media art works, by making the sharing of data (from sensors or internal processes) between collaborators easier, faster, and more flexible.
