Designing Utopias: Sensor experiments

My Idea is, to monitor artworks or mysself, while consuming art or just going throgh everyday life, with several Sensors. On one Hand just because its fun to experiment with Sensors and the arduino, on the other hand, maybe to ask if it makes sense to look at the Art or Myself in this verry rational, but kind of empty way, that for sure shows some truth about what I am looking at, but also misses an important truth and cant really lead to an understanding of what the creators Idea or Intention was behind it. Maybe sometimes we have a similar view on the world?
