_Approach Ito Atsuhide's practice concerns techniques of monitoring and understanding one’s environment through art. This involves environmental data collection as part of citizen science, and aims to develop a sense of agency over knowledge about the atmospheric environment. Currently his work begins with running to collect environmental data, that is to be translated into code to activate kinetic sculptures. This practical work is accompanied with a science fiction writing.
_Project Ito Atsuhide’s project begins in the Spring of 2024, in Japan. Running from Hiroshima to Nagasaki, he will travel approximately 460 kilometers over the span of 10 days. While running Ito Atsuhide will collect radiation data along the trail route. This collected data will be used to activate kinetic sculptures in the installation at the Symposium.
