Re-Moving Flat Ontologies: Mobile Locative Tagging and Ars Combinatoria in the Hollins Community Project

Author: Jen Boyle
Session: After Mobile Media

The speaker opens the discussion up with the question of what happens after mobile media, in the sense of obsolescence?

The Hollins Community Project explores this idea of obsolescence by sending people out to experience the fraughtness of a local rural border space, which still exhibits evidence from when it used to be a dumping ground. People are sent out to this space with laptops equipped with the Tuple Space system, which is a collective space where other people publish text.
