[Nettime-nl] [OKNO] announcing code31 open studio / 3-6 dec 07 / wireless sensor networks

[okno@okno.be]

Announcing :: Open Studio :: mesh networks - sensor networks ::

Code31 is setting up a week of exploration. Trying out the  
hivenetworks' soft- and hardware for the use in wireless-sensor- 
networks.
> "Hivenetworks is an Open Source project that explores the new
> concepts of DIY network building, mesh architectures and ubiquitous
> computing. The aim is to take the DIY networking and publishing to
> the point where it becomes accessible to anyone with creative mind
> and basic knowledge of computing." (http://hivenetworks.net)

Our intention is to explore the field of wireless sensor network  
technologies. The Hivenetworks' technology seems very well fitted to  
set up a system for environmental monitoring. We'll research on the  
potential of this specific wireless technology, trying and testing  
the scripts prepared by Hive (london) to transmit sensor data  
(sounds, webcam, arduino,...) over a wireless network  (using the  
brussels' city-wide network "reseaucitoyen" as ultimate goal to  
integrate into).

Our broader aim is to start an overview of which technology is  
feasible, depending of the physical scale of the installation /  
energy sources available/ cost / amount of hacking & time you want to  
spend into it & bandwidth needed ;  (a next workshop in this series  
is planned 21-25th January 2008)

Everybody is free to join, at any time : the workshop is set-up as an  
open studio.
We're avail online using IRC  /server irc.freenode.net   /channel  
#code31
( irc://irc.freenode.net/code31 )

From dec 3rd until dec 6th
at OKNO headquarters - Koolmijnenkaai 30-34 quai des charbonnages -  
1030 BXL
