Description (English)

We're going mobile: Grab your mobile, let's go outside!

We will cross through space (walk, rush, hike, drive...), we'll look at how ubiquitous location aware technology has changed our perception of space. What's virtual space and how does it interact with physical space; are augmented information layers altering our perception of space?

We'll look at classic navigation systems (maps, compass, waysigns, environmental and micronavigation...) and how technology, equipped with GPS, WiFi, cell triangulation and location based services, changes our spacial understanding and behavior. Does technology change our understanding of distance?

We will also discuss standard and contemporary space theories, apply techniques of Lucius Burckhardt's strollology (Spaziergangswissenschaft), Guy Debord's dérive and psychogeography, log and collect data (with cameras, microphones, GPS and magnetometer sensors...), go out in field excursions and most of all create, run and evaluate well defined experiments to see what can be done with this data in an artistic or applied context.

The expected outcome is a deeper understanding how location based technology works in practice and how mobile interfaces can be optimized to support movement in space. The final assignment is pretty open, it could be (either, not all!):

  • a functional prototype of an app concept (or an app of course!)
  • a (wearable) accessory (prototype or working proof-of-concept)
  • in-depth user evaluation of one or more existing applications
  • or a scientific paper, researching a specific location based / mobile topic

Beschreibung (Deutsch)

We're going mobile: Packt die Geräte ein, wir gehen raus!

Dieses Semester nehmen wir "Mobile Devices" wörtlich: wir durchschreiten den Raum (spatio -> spazieren), untersuchen wie mobile ubiquitäre Technik unser räumliches Verständnis und unser Verhalten verändert. Was ist virtueller und physischer Raum, wo überlagern sich beide, welche neuen augmentierten Räume entstehen dadurch? Welche klassischen Navigationssysteme im Raum (Markierungen, Zeichen, Wegweiser, Wegleitsysteme, Karten, Kompass, Sterne...) gibt es und wie verändern moderne Gerätschaften mit GPS, WiFi & Mobilfunk Triangulation oder Location Based Social Services unsere Wahrnehmung von Raum.

Welche Daten können mit Kamera, Mikrofon, Sensorik und GPS bzw. allgemein "Data Loggern" erfasst werden und welche Auswertungen, Visualisierung oder Sonifizierungsmöglichkeiten gibt es für diese Daten? Welche künstlerischen, erzählerischen oder angewandten Strategien gibt es zur Auseinandersetzung mit Raum, Navigation und Technik, welche Auswirkung hat Technik auf Empfindung von Distanzen?

Wir werden und mit grundlegenden und aktuellen Raumtheorien auseinandersetzen, Techniken wie Lucius Burckhardts Spaziergangswissenschaft, Guy Debords Theory of Dérive oder Psychogeographie anwenden, Daten aufzeichnen, existerende aktuelle Technologoien (Outdoor-Activity Planner) nutzen und vor allem in Feldversuchen testen, Experimente erstellen, durchführen und evaluieren, wie man mit und ohne Technik durch den Raum navigiert und uns künstlerische Auseinandersetzungen mit Raumrezeption und zeitlicher Dimensionen ansehen.

Ergebnisse des Moduls können Analysen, (App-)Konzepte, künstlerische Installation oder tatsächliche Umsetzungen sein. Das Modul kann auch zur unterstützenden Evaluierung von ortsbezogenen Projekten genutzt werden.
