September on -empyre-: Locative City

September on -empyre-: Locative City



-empyre- joins city stories to locative media and narrative archaeology in
September.


Using locative media to "read" a space with gps and other wireless
technology, artists Jeremy Hight, Jeff Knowlton and Naomi Spellman (US) dig
into deep city spaces. Marking narrative triggers through locative media,
they draw many lines –from archaeology, fiction, architecture, and design
–into the urban terrain.

Their locative media artwork "34 north 118 west" uses gps data and
interactive map that triggers live data through movement in downtown LA.
"34 north 118 west" premiered November 15, 2002 at the Art in Motion
Festival. It won the grand jury prize at Aim IV in 2003

Collaborative artworks have also shown at LA Freewaves, Futuresonic, and
online at <http://www.mediatopia.net/>

In New York at the beginning of October, Naomi and Jeff will debut a new
'interpretive engine' for various places on earth, which uses wireless APs
in New York to determine more generalised location: see Spectropolis:
