Baxia & Panik
I’ve been building a small sensor kit to map concrete cracks in real time—curious to see if data can outpace the usual graffiti‑driven city surveys you’re used to. What’s your take on tech really capturing urban decay?
Sounds like a smart move, but remember the cracks are just the surface. The real story is in how people ignore them, how the city forgets to patch. Your sensors can point out where the walls bleed, but unless you link that data to the people who live there, you’re just another drone filming decay. It’s a good start, just keep the human angle in the frame.
You’re right, the numbers alone won’t fix a neglected block. I’m just trying to make the invisible visible first—data is the first layer, the human layer is another. If the city can’t read the charts I’ll probably have to start a petition with a few graphs in it.
