In London, artist as a dealer of thrilling experience in the public space, but not the police, not the pickers and stealer, not the terrorist… I always believe that people who lives in those megacities like London, Paris, New York, really needs some kind of city-psychotherapy like this.
Hide and Seek is a festival of social games and playful experiences, running in London from the 27th to the 29th of June 2008. It will encompass everything from fine artists making location-based work to huge flashmob games within the public spaces of the Southbank Centre. This year sees projects from Blast Theory, Gideon Reeling, Momus, Jane McGonigal, and Coney, as well as parties, seminars, and a bunch of low-tech, high-fun games from the Sandpit.

‘Situated technologies‘ is rather more human than ‘locative media’. Situated technologies not only know where we are, but also reach for what we are doing, and potentially, even how we are feeling.
The Situated Technologies Pamphlet series explores the implications of ubiquitous computing for architecture and urbanism: How is our experience of the city and the choices we make in it affected by mobile communications, pervasive media, ambient informatics, and other “situated” technologies? Continue reading ‘Situated technologies! not only GPS.’
