The artist's “Safecast” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2012, category Digital Communities.
_Safecast_ is a global project based in the US but currently focusing on outreach efforts in Japan. We are working to empower people with data about their environments, primarily by mapping radiation levels and building a sensor network, enabling people both to contribute and to freely use the data collected.
