"Locative Media"

It is the kind of media that situates the user within a pre-existing geographic space. It is based on place, not cyberspace.

"locative media projects can be categorized under one of two types of mapping, either annotative—virtually tagging the world—or phenomenological—tracing the action of the subject in the world. Roughly, these two types of locative media—annotative and tracing—correspond to two archetypal poles winding their way through late 20th century art, critical art and phenomenology, perhaps otherwise figured as the twin Situationist practices of détournement and the derive." (Kazys Varnelis)
