Traces of Fire

May 26, 2004 09:55 PM | Posted in: Urban Habitat Research

Traces of Fire is an art exhibit and social experiment that used wildlife-tracking telemetry to trace the movements of ten cigarette lighters 'lost' in famous pubs in Limerick. The lighters were carried around Limerick by unknown people, as transmitters relayed location and motion data to observing artists for nearly two weeks. From the cumulative data, the artists built a series of exhibitions showing patterns in the locations and movements of the lighters around the city.
