Quantified Self – Shimmer Research Collaborates with Artists for Innovation Dublin
As part of Innovation Dublin 2011, Shimmer Research has collaborated with Dublin City Council’s The LAB Gallery and a number of artists to explore and develop the ‘Quantified Self’.
Working with artists Michelle Brown, Cliona Harmey, Saoirse Higgins and Bea McMahon, films, drawings, and sculptures were developed using the Shimmer’s wearable wireless sensing technology. Quantified Self is a theme that explores how people can capture, monitor, and interpret personal and sensed data to make better decisions and engage with their health, behaviour, environment and personal outcomes.
The exhibition will be held at The LAB Gallery, located on Foley Street, Dublin 1, opening with a reception on Tuesday the 18th of October from 6pm to 8pm. The reception will include a programme of events and a discussion curated by Rachel O’Dwyer, and is open to the general public. The Exhibition will run until the 3rd of December, and feature applications including Equine Dressage, Stress Biofeedback, and Heart Rate Monitoring.
