Is the city truly emergent? Can the city be called an organism? If so, then what can be determined about the validity of the city experience in relation to its 'character', or 'soul', or spirit'?.

Le Corbusier suggested that a city has soul I want to find the Soul Of The City. Here my city "soul", is represented by live data feeds from my wireless sensor networks. This visualisation is showing the stressed city space. The changing parameters are what changes in the city; ie the temperature, light, noise data and chemical changes.

This artwork is made by monitoring the urban landscape and its online counterpart, in ordermake interpretive media art work. The objective is to find some shared understandings of the nature of the 'emotional city' and its measurable sensory 'behaviours'.

The experience of the city.
