Event description: To design the next generation of experience in the Augmented City, we place the walker at the centre of our thoughts to create unique immersiveness and understanding of a place. Locativeaudio has reconstructed history and architecture, has transformed noisy streets into beautiful soundscapes, has implanted secret thoughts onto solitary statues, and even extended the boundaries of the concert hall experience. Locativeaudio’s contribution to the Augmented City may include converting urban spaces into citizen’s living rooms, where people could plant site-specific thoughts in every street, including their fantasies, desires and fears.
