March 11, 2008: Geotracing- locative media, mobile networking
I’m starting to feel like I’m onto something as I continue to research my project. It’s amazing how one link leads to many more. Andy put me onto a couple of projects- like the O’Reilly Where 2.0 conference on the geospatial web in May and things have developed from there. What’s interesting about this conference is the focus on the geo-spatial web and which considers open source projects like Tim Schaub and Chris Holmes’ Open Planning Project with the Open Geo-stack workshop and the open source Geo-server. I’m supposed to be writing my project outline for Friday, but I keep finding more and more interesting events that are happening around the world.
Regine Debatty is giving a workshop on RFID: Radio Frequency Identification next week, March 24- 27 at iMAL Centre for Digital Cultures and Technologies in Brussells. The workshop will “explore the social implications and artistic possibilities of RFID technologies to track people or objects.” I wish I could attend- both the organization and the topic look great.
Even more intersting is a Geotracing: locative media and mobile networking workshop iMAL have scheduled for September 9- 14, 2008, with Simon Pope and Just van den Broecke.
