Lichen Ohms Seriatim and The Internet of Things

Posted on 26 January 201618 March 2016 by english

An installation that ran at Corpus Christi College Chapel during the Festival of Ideas in 2015, ‘Lichen Ohms Seriatim’–created by Drew Milne, Tom Hall, and Barry Byford and partially funded by the Faculty’s Judith E Wilson Fund–is gaining new popularity this week after the Raspberry Pi Blog posted about its use of the single-board computer to do the ‘computational heavy lifting’ for the project. The Raspberry Pis acted as portable media devices that used locator beacons (created with UriBeacon Technology; an open-source protocol which did not limit the type of device that could be used) to provide an immersive audio-visual environment based on a person’s location in the chapel. More information about the technology behind the installation is available on the Ludions web site and a video trailer may be viewed below.

The installation was opened on 24 October 2015 as part of the Festival of Ideas and the group plans to run it again in future.

Dr Milne, Mr Byford and Mr Hall will be with Royal Holloway’s Poetics Research Centre in London on 5th February 2016 to talk about the project. More details may be found at the event’s website.
