SEEU Hosts Air Pollution Workshop with UK Artist Robin Price

South East European University (SEEU) recently hosted the Air Pollution Workshop, featuring UK-based artist Robin Price, who introduced an innovative method for visualizing air pollution particles. His experimental photography technique combines a particulate sensor, electronics, and LEDs to transform invisible air pollution into striking visual representations. The more pollution the sensor detects, the more particles the LEDs “paint” into long-exposure photographs—creating a powerful depiction of air quality as if seen under a microscope.

This initiative is part of SEEU’s collaborative project with the University of Birmingham, aimed at raising awareness of environmental challenges through art and technology. Students actively participated in the workshop, experimenting with this innovative methodology to create their own pollution-mapped images.

Building on this success, SEEU plans to organize an exhibition in May, where these unique photographs will be showcased to the public.
