The project measures post-9/11 fear in public spaces by counting breaths along Boston’s 2006 emergency evacuation routes. In 2007, the Catherine D’Ignazio ran the full system, archiving tens of thousands of breaths in a podcast and sculptural installation.

Rachael Clewlow’s Explorer (2011) visualizes her daily movements through the city using colour-coded tracks. Based on her “‘statistical diaries’,” it transforms walking patterns into abstract forms and colours, mapping mobility as art.
