Personal Traces on Urban Spaces
tejp "explores various possibilities for overlaying personal traces and information on public spaces through different mediums and behavior patterns. it is our hope that {tejp} will transform spectators into players and encourage playful ways to personalize territory in the public realm. we also hope to connect local communities by providing a space and sounding board for existing social relationships. ['tejp' is swedish for 'tape' and is pronounced {tape}]."
