Part III: Iterations

In Iterations, I explore the production of the London Development Datasniffer, and the composition and experience of the Nightnsniffing Walks, which combine datasniffing and bat detecting into a single practice.

The datasniffer and the walks fit hand in glove, each shaping and remoulding each other. The datasniffer documentation includes a full version of its software, circuit diagrams for all its components, and details on its construction. Documentation for the Nightsniffing Walks includes a short video that captures the experience of a walk. I also provide further details on each of the five walks undertaken for the research.
