After extensive testing of the Hybrid Mesh Sensornetwork (SINUNI) during our time at the Arsbioarctica residency in Kilpisjarvi (FI), we are working with a fantastic group of artists to build the technical foundation for a sensornetwork to be maintained, modified and refined with oru hosts, the Finnish Bioarts Society.

Welcome

The Arctic Perspective Initiative (API) is a non-profit, international group of individuals and organizations, founded by Marko Peljhan and Matthew Biederman, whose goal is to promote the creation of open authoring, communications and dissemination infrastructures for the circumpolar region. Its aim is to work with, learn from, and empower the North and Arctic Peoples through open source technologies and applied education and training. By creating access to these technologies while promoting the creation of shared communications and data networks without costly overheads, continued and sustainable development of autonomous culture, traditional knowledge, science, technology and education opportunities for peoples in the North and Arctic regions is enabled.
