broadcasts live 24 hours a day, piglets and beavers
Sentinelle is an installation of seven video stations that set the pace for A Journey into Biodiversity, the exhibition curated by Telmo Pievani and designed by Studio Gisto for Inequalities, the 24th International Exhibition at Triennale Milano.
Seven monitors stream, in real time, a mix of data, information and live footage from seven sites across Italy. This extends the exhibition beyond its walls, bringing in live content from natural environments chosen for their distinctive forms of biodiversity — from migratory movements in the Mediterranean tracked by Emergency’s Life Support ship, to the tireless work of bees in a Milan garden; from the underwater flora of the Dohrn Canyon in the Gulf of Naples to the evolutionary paths of wild boars on the island of Colacuccia in northern Sardinia.
Each “sentinel” involves teams of researchers and technicians who make the broadcasts possible and oversee the content. A backup system automatically kicks in whenever transmissions are interrupted.
The project’s motion identity takes its cue from 24-hour news channels: we designed an interface that brings together raw CCTV footage, live data streams and constantly updated information in a single, dynamic visual language.
