About the Project:

The Portland Square building at the University of Plymouth is a hive of activity, especially for the i-DAT program. The building has a Building Management System that can monitor activity within it, taking input from hundreds of sensors fitted throughout the building. The BMS can record the temperature, water usage, where the elevators are and other such details. Similarly the i-DAT server keeps a log of the visits or 'hits' to the www.i-dat.org website. We have tried to create a 3D representation of the use of the building versus the activity of the i-dat.org website, or physical activity versus the unreal, digital activity.

The images show a large cube made up of smaller cubes. If the larger cube seems to be well defined then the image is showing more activity in the building than the server. If lots of smaller cubes are floating away from their origin then the server is changing more than the building.
