Biomapping: information about our own bodies

Bio Mapping is a research project which explores new ways that we as individuals can make **use of the information we can gather about our own bodies**. Instead of security technologies that are designed to control our behaviour, this project envisages new tools that allows people to selectively share and interpret this information.

The current version of the Bio Mapping system allows people to measure their Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) as a simple indicator of emotional arousal in conjunction with their geographical location. By sharing this data we can construct maps that visualise where we as a community feel stressed and excited.

Will other people�s experiences make us engage differently with our environment?

Bio Mapping will be live at the Royal College of Art from the 25 June to 4 July
