29 March-3 April 2004, Helsinki
Locative media and Located media are new terms used in the context of consumer level digital devices and systems. Both are ways to describe new developments and opportunities offered by advances in both the technologies and methodologies of digital media. Both are divergences from the traditional understanding of networked computing. Instead of thinking of networked computing in terms of making distance irrelevant, of 'online' being a remote and dislocated place, researchers are investigating new forms of social communication and organisation focused people in relative proximity, using localised computing resources.
Locative media workshop will gather together an international group of artists, writers, and researchers with disciplines of expression ranging from textual, aural, digital film, performance, architecture, and contemporary archaeological theory.
