Duncan Geere: Energy waste and sonification art

30 August 2024
Technical details

Duncan Geere is a sonification artist and generative musician who plans to create a musical composition derived from data collected from different communities about the overnight energy consumption of various objects in their homes. Smart plugs that monitor energy use will be distributed among the participants, who will collect and share data that will be transformed into music. The aim is to raise awareness of and stimulate discussion about energy use among the volunteers in Malmö who participate and among a broader audience. The simple process of observing and quantifying their appliances’ energy footprint is likely to prompt self-reflection on their own consumption. Additionally, the project is expected to generate interest and curiosity among wider audiences on the topic of energy consumption.
