Dear Andrew et al Noted your interest in developing geographic/art >thinking perhaps usin GPS/GIS. Keep an eye on what the audioguide companies are doing. My own company's partners, RSF, of Toulouse, and Linon,Germany (of the infamous Plastination show) have developed a GPS feature for their product range. The obvious application for this is outdoor sites such as archaeological parks or parks integrating/displaying artworks so that not just simple narration but interactivity takes place in close proximity to the object/feature in the landscape. In terms of applying to art projects, we are at an early stage although we are always open to ideas.
I and my colleagues will be demo-ing this feature along with AV synchronisation at TiLE in Berlin (11 to 13th June). Robbie ----- Original Message ----- From: A.

The research paper was written for ICAD (auditory display) and so for the (computing/interface/sound interpretion)science research community. For anyone who is not familiar with research paper formats and 'language', it may be of interest to see the presentation method of concept, however i include a link [per_SON2002] which was a conference recently in Cologne, which aimed to bring together science/sound aesthetic crossovers. Other than Dombois, there were some interesting speakers which approached the subject quite laterally, who some of you may want to look into further.
