March 23, 2015 Turbulence.org Commission: "A Travel Guide" by Allison Parrish http://transition.turbulence.org/commissions/a_travel_guide Enable/Allow Geolocation in your browser, or not.
"A Travel Guide" is a web-based, location-based, mobile-centric application for randomly creating short, poetic texts in the style of the travel guide. "A Travel Guide" has as its goal to give its visitors an alternate reading of place, through the serendipitous juxtaposition of their current location with evocative procedural text. "A Travel Guide" is a 2015 commission of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. for its Turbulence.org website. It was made possible with funding from the Jerome Foundation, now celebrating 50 years of the creative spirit of emerging artists.
