Locative Media
Defining locative media?– Hybrid space, bricks and clicks– Technology
What's happening?– Military & Security– Commercial– Artistic & Activistic

1. What are locative media?
![Page 3: Locative Media](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56814882550346895db59406/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
When digital things relate themselves to where real things are

A step in the ubicomp search for context awareness

Tracking - Where is it
Tracing - Where has it been
Mapping - connecting real to virtual and then:
Annotating - connecting virtual to real

“The death of distance”
Cyberspace is not separated from meatspace, as the 90s would have us believe.
People are “of the world and in the world”, and our media should not ignore this
![Page 10: Locative Media](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56814882550346895db59406/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“Ubiquitous Computing”
- Mark Weiser
Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC)
Smart environments through smart computers and sensors

Sensors create this location awareness
Location sensing
- through proximity (line-of-sight, WiFi)
- through triangulation (Stars, radiobeacons, GPS)
![Page 15: Locative Media](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051316/56814882550346895db59406/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
GRIDIn either case there is a grid that allows the
mapping of both realms to eachother.
This isn't as easy as it sounds: what kind of grid do you use?
Cartesian grid!Degree confluence project

GPS = 24 (+5 spare) atomic clocks in space
Speed of light: 299 792 458 m / sPrecision: 5 meters
You do the math
Orbits are known precisely

“Location-aware” technology
Other popular 'location aware' technology: Radio WiFi Barcode readers, QR codes RFID Eyes, ears, nose, fingers
(Walkie talkies, induction rings in asphalt, etc) And of course..

- Phone is always with you and always on
- GPS and other sensors allow automated input & global standard
- Mobile internet connects to geo-databases just-in-time

Locative media are still in a very early phase
Struggle for standardsPowerful institutions are emerging
Technology is still immature(mixing sensors helps, but drains batteries)

How to recognise 'targets' there? Locative media!

“What if there was a system that could establish that someone like you was sitting around bored in the next street, that you had a mutual friend in
common and the system can arrange to introduce the two of you, in a way acceptable to each of you. [...] Leverage proximity better. “

To subvert notions of safety, cleanliness or efficiency (re-politicize public space)
To reinvigorate the public sphere by creating a sense of ownership and togetherness
To create awareness of these systems
