This webpage is part of the artwork Hunting Mosquitos by Angeliki Diakrousi. It is a geolocative app that allows navigation in the city through mapping hang-outs and installations of Mosquitos. It invites you to playfully explore the city and participate in a discussion around public spaces. The web app is developed by Alex Roidl.

The site is running on a Flask instance, storing data in a SQLite database. Flask is a web framework, written in Python, that allows you to develop web applications. The location is tracked using the Geolocation API. Audio is recorded through the Web Audio API. Here is the code: https://git.xpub.nl/aaaa/huntingmosquitos
