Forest Talk Radio, the Laurier Woods edition, weaves together folktales and forest science to produce an Ol’fashion radio comedy experience. This GPS triggered app translates into English the conversations that trees in this forest are having. As well, the demeure radio-host fungus waxes philosophical on the stunning similarities between trees and humans. A truly wild ride!

GPS, geo-poetic system

Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
