PLAN
Reflections on the PLAN Launch
"...What is locative media? Judging from the PLAN gathering, locative media is the implementation of any context sensitive mobile technology – GPS, Bluetooth, wireless broadband, Sensors, RFID, etc. – to the end of actively examining and shifting how we interact with our physical environment and with each other. Projects span a wide range including social networking projects, walking projects employing digital mapping tools, and location aware games.
...Locative Media acts as an umbrella for a wide variety of post NetArt practices. As a genre Locative Media has limited currency. It will ultimately be subsumed by an increasingly integrated and ubiquitous computing infrastructure in our environment and by the prevalence of commercially oriented context-aware applications." From PLAN Report: Reflections on the Pervasive & Locative Arts Network launch at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London by Naomi Spellman, February 1-2, 2005, Net Art Review. [Related 1, 2, 3].
