A project by Alice Hui-Sheng Chang & Nigel Brown. During a 10-week residency at AIR Krems, Austria they recorded in-site sound improvisations in public spaces. Recordings were published on an online map, inviting locals and visitors to Krems to listen in situ after the fact; an altered perception of sound and environment through the introduction of a foreign body and a moment to reflect.

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).
