location tagging mobile workshop

This 60 min workshop takes a look at current media tools for socially mapping public space.

Using the mapping tools, participants explore the city placing ‘urban footnotes’ where people could take a break and sense something slightly different from their usual daily rush around the urban sprawl. e.g. A street corner that has a special view, a river bench that is close to the smell of coffee, a particular tram stop etc…
