Citizen Science
We work under the paradigm of citizen science, which requires involving society in the process of co-production of knowledge. The public participates as if they were a scientist in several parts of the research or in the whole process: from posing the research question, the hypotheses, the experimental design, the data collection, the data analysis, the preparation of the articles and the publication and communication of the results.
Open Source
To this end, we jointly created an open source device that can measure gases in the air and that can be replicated by other groups with the assistance of an interdisciplinary team that applies the paradigm of co-construction of open knowledge considering the gender perspective and design justice.
Design Justice
In such a sense the principles of justice would act to ensure the participation of all in the act of designing, recognising that the design process also needs to be designed to ensure just outcomes, going beyond recent calls to design for good, user-centred design and diversity of employment in the technology and design professions; thus connecting design to broader struggles/causes for collective liberation and ecological survival.
Collective participation
By participating, people not only contribute but also learn from researchers and acquire scientific-technical skills.
We invite all those interested in the production of environmental data and art for environmental change to call on us to collaborate with measurements of air quality in different urban areas and/or vulnerable communities who are concerned about the relationship between the air they breathe and their health
