Abstract:
Panel: Site Specifics: Mobile Media Art and the Contexts of Place
Each of my works require extensive interaction with sites through the simple act of walking. Both in production and reception, my work emerges through a process that I have come to think of as a form of “kinesthetic attunement.” Walking is the ground from which my work evolves as a form of experiential knowledge. It is also the basis upon which I seek to challenge and critique abstract models of spatial representation and the theoretical foundations of technologies associated with locative media. Drawing upon the philosophy of embodiment as well as anthropological methods and ethnographic practices employed in current projects, I will discuss insights from my over fifteen years experience making site-specific sound and media installations using GPS and other location-sensing technologies.
