The Art Pollution Kit

Maybe think of a small device, a little box, with some wires sticking out, and connect it to your computer. You can find an instant measuring of temperature, humidity, air pressure, light, air and ozone quality, wind speed, and the position you are at, or the direction you are walking into. Or whatever you can add to it. And you start to make sense of it by visualizing it gradually in patterns and shapes, or sonifying it into whirling hissing sounds. But then other people may be doing the same. So you can figure out how to cover a small area.
