Locative Media

This project is called "fortysomething", and is an audio project. It involves someone walking around Graz, which is a city in Austria, and going to different places. They carry a bag that has a GPS and PDA. Depending on where the participant goes, they will hear different stories on the site they are currently at. This may be a store, an art exhibit, mural, etc. It is called "fortysomething", because they are celebrating the forty-year anniversary of Steirischer Herbst and they interviewed more around people for the audio version of the project. I thought it sounded pretty cool, given the technology used. You can find more information on it here:
