about

Our phones collect information from us and our surroundings: all the time, sometimes or on request. In order to get access to some of that data we have to give explicit permission (e.g. GPS, microphone, camera) but others can be fetched by the browser or apps without noticing.

For this project I want to visualize some of that “hidden data”, creating a generative image in real time using today’s web technologies. This so generated image should simulate the phones camera view in a lo fi way.
