Victoria Button<\/a>\u00a0has just seen the completion of the installation of her art project at a shopping centre in Chelmsford. The project, which is at the High Chelmer<\/a>\u00a0shopping centre, seeks to highlight the issue of air pollution in our environment and encourage social change. It reads pollution levels from various locations via a council API and then uses that data to determine lighting effects at the installation location.\u00a0The 12 Raspberry Pi-controlled DMX lights\u00a0project through four ‘leaves’ made out of squashed plastic bottles and changes throughout the day. The installation is up until the end of October.<\/p>\n
