Abstract

This paper demonstrates how art-science collaboration can highlight air pollution and foster civic discourse. A light painting photographic technique, using data from particulate matter sensors, visualizes air pollution levels in Ethiopia, India, and the UK. Postcard surveys gauged public sentiment, revealing awareness and suggesting actions to address air pollution.
