==== augmented ecology ==== **Nature is going online.. .. ..**\\ This page collects research from **FoAM**'s desk for augmented ecology [[http://augmentedecology.com]]\\ related posts also via: [[https://twitter.com/augmentedeco|@augmentedeco]]\\ see also: [[data reserves]] / [[machine ecology]] / [[project groworld]] ==== Outline ==== Through epizoic media, drone ecology and satellite sensors nature is becoming a subset of the internet of things; the [[Internet_of_Organisms]] (IoO) **Augmented Ecology** tracks developments in a newly forming branch of the anthropocene that seems to go almost unnoticed; the immersion of data and media technologies in living landscapes. ==== nature mapping: ==== * [[http://www.waarneming.nl|Waarneming.nl]] Millions!! of sightings, great array of
