There are at least two main drivers behind this project. The first is to illustrate the use of technologies like cameraphones, text messaging (SMS), and the wireless web as a means of facilitating remote publishing/communications. While none of these individual technologies is particularly bleeding-edge, I have not seen them deployed in a real-time manner. This then introduces the notions of geo-spatial and temporal aethetics which I desire to explore using this new medium. Simply put, representing human social activity around where and when things are happening.
Personally, I feel too much of the web revolves around stuff you do while you're at your computer, which probably is either located in your home or at your office. But there is so much going out out there in the "real world", and now your technology can travel with you as you go out and explore the urban environment. Thus the second driver for this project is to explore how content and community looks and feels when presented in the context of a mobile publishing framework.
