Workshop GeoTales (locative media), 23-27 FEB 09, Brussels, iMAL

Registration is open for our workshop on Locative Media:
GEOTALES, 23-27 FEB 2009, Brussels !
with Esther Polak (NL)

GeoTales proposes a 5 days unique and creative 
experimentation workshop with mobile and location 
based technologies (GPS: Global 
PositioningSystem) under the direction of Esther 
Polak (NL) and her assistant Tijmen Schep (NL) . 
While reflecting upon available tools and their 
influence on our world's perception, we will hit 
the streets to dig up experiences of real-life 
locative media use. From these experiments, 
participants will develop concepts for locative 
projects and make a start with hands on 
development of tools: based on existing open 
source GPS editing/tracking softwares or newly 
developed from scratch.
The first day of GeoTales will be dedicated to 
"best practices" in the field of locative media. 
Simon Pope (UK), Daniel Belasco Rogers from Plan 
B (UK/DE), Gwenola Wagon (FR) and Esther Polak 
(NL) are invited to present their projects.
