poetics of the unseen - water flux



Last week we started thinking a new art project with the colleagues of the Poéticas Digitais research group at ECA/USP. I came with idea of using a device like a Geophone to have data from the water flux focusing on thinking and discussing the unseen underground cityscape from wich we depend to survive and have a extremely poor idea about...

here I'm collecting some initial information about devices:

ABSTRACT
A particularly simple and mathematically elegant example of chaos in a three-dimensional flow is examined in detail. It has the property of cyclic symmetry with respect to interchange of the three orthogonal axes, a single bifurcation parameter that governs the damping and the attractor dimension over most of the range 2 to 3 (as well as 0 and 1) and whose limiting value b = 0 gives Hamiltonian chaos, three-dimensional deterministic fractional Brownian motion, and an interesting symbolic dynamic.
