A context driven project involving creative
application of digital technology which
promotes the integration of the physical with the digital. An inter-disciplinary
project
involving artist Annie Lovejoy and musician Roger Mills (members of
the 'Here nor There'
collective:an international network of media practitioners), and the
Mobile
Bristol project
- a collaboration between the Computer
Science Department at the University of Bristol
and Hewlett-Packard
Research Laboratories, Europe.
Stage
1
The design of wearable items to house a GPS locating system, which
will allow wearers
to experience an audioscape as they move around Millenium
Square in central Bristol
- an immersive experience triggered by the physical presence and location
of the wearer.
The audio content takes its starting point from physical attributes
of the site
and will reflect the diversity and multiculturalism of Bristol, and
cross-cultural
connections with Bristol's twin
cities embracing the concept of 'a space between'
- cultures / location / distance / physical & digital.
The wearer will be able to collect an audio CD 'Trail' that
will document their personal journey through the audioscape.
FURTHER funding
is currently being sought for Stages 2. &
3.
