Case studies
Installations, artworks, and live systems built on DataNet. Each one runs on the same realtime pub/sub layer you get the moment you sign up.
datanet.art demo
A zero-setup browser demo where visitors publish signals into shared DataNet channels and watch updates move across the page in realtime.
Constellation Range
A networked control panel and live system for coordinating distributed visual states. DataNet carries realtime signals between the browser interface and the artwork.
Ephemeral Presence
A presence-first work where connection state becomes the material: who is here, who has just left, and how a shared system changes while people are briefly together.
Same Material / Different Time
A study in live data, replay, and changing context. The same signals can be experienced as immediate behaviour, retained history, or a later reconstruction.
Data as Material
A body of work treating wireless transmissions and network activity as physical material. Sensors and sculptures stream live data into responsive light, textile, and screen-based systems.
Celestial Signals
A browser-based device state demo for Data as Material, turning networked signals into a live interface that can be opened and shared from anywhere.
(in)visible
A work about signals that are present but not directly seen. DataNet helps expose hidden or ambient activity as responsive state without flattening it into a static record.
You had to be there...
A time-bound networked work built around the difference between witnessing a system live and encountering its traces afterward.
Soft Presence
A quieter presence study where subtle network activity becomes a soft signal: a way of feeling another participant or system without needing a loud interface.
Pulses
A pulse-based networked work where simple repeated signals become timing, rhythm, and shared state across devices or viewers.
Data as Material iOS app
A mobile companion and field interface for Data as Material, using an iOS device as a live participant in the same networked system as the installation.
Built something with DataNet?
We'd love to feature it. Send a short description, a few images or a video, and a link — installations, performances, tools, sensors, and online works all welcome.
