Descon 7.0 Mapping, Sensing, Predicting

The environment is very much at risk. We are processing too much data by drawing maps and sensing the data from our environment, but how do we draw the correct conclusions and get navigation from them? Do the maps and data point us in the right direction for society? We refuse to live in a world of hope and fear and black and white predictions. We want to explore and find a steady course through what is in between, the grey bits between the extremes.

This year, DESC0N focuses on the impact of technology on the ENVIRONMENT and how we could better make sense of our natural and social environment. We look at how artists and scientists can help us create better narratives using data visualisation.

We invite you to join us in these discussions as we hear from exceptional contributors. You will have the opportunity to participate in a data hackathon, Capture the Flag challenge, and one of our three exciting hands-on workshops on data visualisation narrative, how to train your AI data sets, and how to assemble a Klimerko device.

Datathon

In 2022, we’re switching our usual IoT hackathon to a datathon challenge. Participants and teams will work on new creative uses of environmental data sets.

We’ll share data available via the open-source citizen’s network Klimerko, any open portal data sets supplied by the Republic of Serbia, as well as any open data available in the neighbourhood that is scrapeable or free to download and use.

Projects such as Klimerko and the Vazduh Gradjanima initiative demonstrate how open environmental data and collaborative citizen measurement networks can benefit the environment: broad use of such data enables high-quality information in energy and other sectors and can, in some cases, help to spot environmental disasters.
