How does data become information? How does perception influence how we understand the world and therefore respond to it?

This work measures electricity use within a public building and translates this information into an olfactory experience. Smell is a sensation from which it is difficult to be intellectually distanced; by manifesting electricity information in this non-visual medium, this project explores the mechanics of perception. How data can be experienced? This work questions current approaches to interface design and the creation of 'seamless' user experiences.
