[spectre] audioTagger: Wireless Phonography

[eva sjuve]

(sorry for any x-post}

audioTagger will be presented at Digital Art Weeks Zürich 10-14 July
http://www.moolab.net/mobile/audioTagger.shtml

audioTagger is a mobile-phone-sound-art-in-urban-space research project,
or can be defined as, wireless phonography ("mobile sound writing").
audioTagger is a momentary exploration of urban space, to capture a
sonic moment using mobile technology.

Anybody with a data enabled mobile phone can participate and contribute
to AudioTagger's exploration of the environment, using the mobile phone
as a field recorder, "phonographic tool", ubiquitous and artistic.
The mobile phone is used in this application, being the most ubiquitous
tool at present, within wireless architecture; creating a seamless
computing environment with the Internet.

Today, the physical world, and the digital world have an established
connection. audioTagger is a tool to explore the relation between
physical space and its everyday presence, and its integrations into
mobile space. Urban space is here viewed both as a communication
platform and the subject for exploration. What does this mobility mean
to the aesthetic expression, when making a field recording?

The location of the field-recording can be viewed and the sound listened
to, on a Google map

If anybody out there want their location on the audioTaggermap, just shout

cheers
