Initial  Ideas

These are some odd questions and ideas that have been part of our thinking in developing this work.

How does the geography of a city relate to someone's experience in it?
What are the important structures and landmarks of the city?
How can a meaningful narrative be generated by mapping someone's route?

Physical Spaces:
- its arrangements of living & working spaces
- forms of transport
- layouts of buildings and provision of public spaces

Virtual/electronic & media spaces made visible through:
- public electronic interfaces & billboards
- mobile devices and networks
- personal computers at home & work
- phones and mobile phones

Social Spaces:
- what networks of communication are sustained?
- what rules & social codes are attached to particular locations?
- what are the stories and key characters that inform how people experience public space?

Odd Details

Some odd moments with phones:

- Someone dials a number for you and passes you the receiver.
- You receive a call. You don't recognize the voice of the caller. The voice asks to speak with someone who is sitting next to you.
- A caller starts describing ... what you're doing, your surroundings, what you're wearing.
- "It's a Tuesday afternoon now, it's the fall, you're in New York and you've just come out of the building."
- You're standing next to a public phonebox and the phone starts ringing.
