the name of the seminar-workshop to be held in Arteleku (San
Sebastian,
Spain) from 21th to 26th September. I coordinate this meeting which will
discuss the use of new media to represent physical and human geography from
a cultural and artistic point of view. Specifically focuses on the following
topics:
- Strategies, tools and examples of subversive remapping.
- Show, exploiting or reconciling discrepancies in collaborative mapping.
- Altering the perception of the physical environment: hybrid interfaces
and tactics.
In parallel we will run a workshop that will address the production and
design of location-based experiences, using mobile devices and the
Mscape<http://www.mscapers.com/>software.

makers.

nearby people to project an image in the environment for milliseconds. The
result, ghostly and unexplained apparitions in the photographs taken by

our relationship with objects, people and spaces around us that we assumed
well known.

seminar-workshop. Gelo is an artist and researcher in social communication
and locative media. He currently works at the Carlos III University in
various national research projects. His work applies natural interfaces that
