The Mobile Audience
Locative Incarnations
Progress Report 2--The Mobile Audience: Art and New Located Technologies of the Screen by Martin Rieser.
Summary: A critical study examining emergent uses of mobile, wearable and wire free technologies, which move the audience for screen-based work out of the gallery and cinema into public spaces and geographies, with a particular focus on forms of experimental art works using narrative in its new spatialised "locative" incarnations. This continues arguments on reception rehearsed in Rieser, M., Zapp, A. New Screen Media: Cinema/Art/Narrative (BFI, London, 2002), but examines and contextualises more recent and developing work founded on mobile technologies.
This is a book involving primary field research, the principal aims being to develop visual languages and critical discourses around new art and narrative forms using mobile technologies, in particular through examining audience response. Read more.
