[ISEA2004] Artists Statement: Marc Tuters, Rasa Smite & Jaanis Garancs (Locative Media Lab) – The Tactical Cartography Command Centre

Artists Statement

Wireless Experience

The “cartographic command centre” will serve as a space which allows ISEA participants to explore several web-based and mobile cartography applications as interactive VR environment in 3D.

The cartographic command centre will serve as a space which allows ISEA participants to explore several web-based and mobile cartography applications, and general the field of ‘locative media’. It will use a variety of web-cartography applications to display: Geographic Information Systems [GIS) databases of GPS waypoints, climatological data, geological data, local historical data, and geo-encoded information produced specifically for ISEA by this project and hopefully by other ‘geo’ projects at ISEA as well.

The Locative Media Lab is a collective of new media artists, developers and researchers, exploring the design of new time-space-social interfaces through wireless networking and locative media (mapping and positioning). Currently the Locative Media Lab is collaborating with the RIXC in Riga, Latvia and Project Atol from Slovenia, on various international events and projects.
