Preface
Objects and traces in space: an approach to locative media projects
“...I began to understand that objects, narratives, memories and space are woven into a complex,
expanding web-each fragment of which gives meaning to all the others”

Objects and traces in space: an approach to locative media projects
PrefaceKey concepts of ITC relation with space and place
Hypothesis: Locative Media are reinforcing the notion of place.
• Augé: non-places• Meyrowich: losing sense of place.
• Massey: the openness of places.• Scannell: being simultaneity in two places• Urry: local places as multiplex
Transformation and even the disappearance of place.

Building the sense of place:
Objects and traces in space: an approach to locative media projects
• “Canal Accessible”. Antoni Abad (2006)
• “Bio Mapping”. Christian Nold (2004-)
• “Disappearing Places”. Matthew Belanger and
Marianne R. Petit (2007-)
Locative Media projects studied

Building the sense of place:
Objects and traces in space: an approach to locative media projects
• Maps are not objective depictions. There is a point of
view and relation with “power”. (abstract space, H.
Lefebvre)
• Alternative mapping. Feminist geography (Massey).
Psychogeography (Debord) based on subjective
experience.
• Maps are never equivalent to what they represent
(Baudrillard simulacrum)
• Locative Media are challenging the “disembodied”,
decorporalized, screen-based experience.
On Subjective cartography

Building the sense of place:
Objects and traces in space: an approach to locative media projects
• Subjects, objects and commodities. subjects
converted into objects, objects that have
biographies (Kopytoff). Commodities as
interchangeable. The problem of art
commodification.
• Objects, concepts and processes. Conceptualization of contemporary art: land art –the object substitutes its representation, performance art -body and space as object, conceptual art - Concept vs commodity, processual art (Marchan-Fiz). The object doesn’t disappear but is overcome.
On tracing objects

• De-contextualization and de-materialization.
Biographies of objects and its trajectory in
contemporary art: a parallelism
On tracing objects
object ---> decontextualization ---> conceptual or immaterial art ---> hybrid objects

Locative media Projects discussion
Objects and traces in space: an approach to locative media projects
Building personal maps
• Locative media as performance.
• Locative media as conceptual and land art
• establishing a dialogue between artists and
publics

Conclusions
Objects and traces in space: an approach to locative media projects
Return to the place?
• Critical points in Locative Media art projects
• Uncritical or naive use of GPS
• Privacy of data and corporate uses
• Unfair participation (vantage knowledge)
• Incorporation of the anthropological view.
