GPSter fué una de las primeras propuestas cimentada sobre la base de información georeferenciada que es visitada in-situ mediante dispositivos móbiles. Es decir una red que posibilitaba un "location-awareness" o conciencia del lugar más social.
"GPSter attempts to collect small or inaccessible point lists into a live and accessable database that can be addressed, added to, and searched in every format we can manage. GPSter has also provided an optional gateway/transcoder to other geospatial content aggregators like GeoURL (not presently online).
Utiliza las pegatas/stickers con forma de flecha para indicar y remarcar algún aspecto de algún lugar en el que que sientas que tienes algo que decir. Cada flecha amarilla tiene un código único. Si alguién encentra esa flecha puede enviar un sms a los teléfonos que indica la flecha y saber que pensamiento, reflexión, idea, etcétera está detrás de esa flecha. Yellow Arrow intenta fomentarla creación de lugares plagados de sentidos, de experiencias, en definitva, dotados de memoria. Pero me pregunto sino sería más fácil coger un rotulador y plasmar lo que deseas poner en el mensaje sms directamente en la flecha...
A 3-day symposium bringing together researchers and practitioners from art, architecture, technology and sociology to explore the emerging role of "situated" technologies in the design and inhabitation of the contemporary metapolis.
Begun as a research unit within the Southern California Institute of Architecture, Architecture Urbanism Design Collaborative [AUDC] is a nonprofit organization dedicated to using the tools of architecture to research the role of the individual and the community in the contemporary urban environment.
should transform the “new” technologies of mobile and pervasive computing, ubiquitous networks, smart materials and locative media into experiences that matter
"Foundcity is a social mapping tool for creating a personalized map of your life on-the-fly. From your computer or cell phone, you tag locations, add photos, label them with any words you want, and plot them to your map, which you can share with friends, keep private, or publish openly."
El primer proyecto que parece enfocar de la manera más práctica, así como de tener la oportunidad de hacerlo, las bases técnicas de los proyectos de artistas del locative media, establecidas ya hace unos tres años.
investigates the impact of computation and communications on architecture and urbanism. What opportunities do programming, telematics, and new media offer architecture? How does the network city affect the building? Who is the subject and what is the object in a world of networked things and spaces? How do transformations in communications reflect and affect the broader socioeconomic milieu?
"Rabble enables a new kind of self-expression that informs, entertains and connects people through the media they create. Create your channel and post location-based media - your favorite places, photos or an up-to-the-minute newsworthy event. It's like putting virtual sticky notes on the world around you. Then connect with your world. Tell Rabble where you are and it will show you who is around you and the media they have created. Through bits of location-tagged media, find and interact with other people and get information you won't find in the yellow pages. Part blogging, part location-based personal networking, Rabble connects you with the world in a unique and intuitive way by turning "users" into "producers" and creating a marketplace for mobile user-generated content."
...is a project to develop experiential forms of journalism and nonfiction storytelling for use at specific locations. Stories are presented through text, images and audio files that participants can download from the Web to their handheld computers and take with them to the place of interest.
The premise for this workshop was to bring members of the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) community together with researchers and practitioners from the fields of urban planning, architecture, and design, who are interested in similar issues, in an effort to critically examine the interrelationship of technology and the urban environment.
