Mobile networks and wireless telecommunications technologies are inherently spatial at the scale of landscape and infrastructure. Important questions about the relationship of landscape and subjectivity - our very sense of place in the world - emerge with the rise of this new "network landscape" condition. Artists and designers working in this domain have begun to design and represent this condition in projects that range from networked street performance and activist projects, to collaborative cartography, situated ethnography, and pervasive games. This workshop in locative media will introduce participants to basic concepts in the technical, aesthetic and compositional aspects of creating GPS-based interactive installations using iPaq devices and the freeware mScape. The workshop is designed to address a spectrum of participants from novice to expert. Space is limited (15).
