Abstract
In this workshop we will consider the nature of presence and the role of memory on how experiences are constructed with locative media in everyday situations. In particular we seek to explore how locative media can be appropriated for shared interactions that can occur spontaneously and playfully and in doing so re-inhabit and connect place-based social networks. The aim of the workshop is to collect, assemble, and share personal both present experiences and memories of the cities using digital storytelling practices.
