Abstract(s)
In this paper we present the challenges exposed during the
designing, implementing and assessment of a novel eco feedback system resulting from the intersection of human computer interaction (HCI), and Digital Art. We explore
how a digital art mode of inquiry can contribute to expose
existing challenges in eco-feedback technology. Our new
art inspired eco-feedback visualization, maps electricity
consumption to effects on natural elements of the local
natural landscape. The feedback was piloted with eight
local families for four weeks. Reactions of the users were
assessed through interviews and quantitative measures. Our
findings showed that users found the mapping of the eco feedback to artistic representations of elements of the
natural environment somehow compelling, despite lacking
of clear quantitative information. In conclusion, the
conducted study provide useful findings and insights into
future deployment of eco-feedback using artistic
visualizations, information visualization and motivating
behavior change.
