- The story of one hiker's journey on the Appalachian Trail. Meet Sneetch, find out about her journey, follow her progress through journal entries, maps, and lots of pictures. (Submit Comments)
- a project to develop experiential forms of journalism and nonfiction storytelling for use at specific locations. Stories are presented through text, images and audio files that participants can download from the Web to their handheld computers and take with them to the place of interest. The prototype experience is Annotate Space DUMBO, an interactive, anytime walking tour of the Brooklyn waterfront neighborhood of DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). (Submit Comments)
- Photos help us to remember moments in our past. Often they even become a memory in their own right. (Submit Comments)
- The goal of the project is to visit each of the latitude and longitude integer degree intersections in the world, and to take pictures at each location. The pictures, and stories about the visits, will then be posted here. (Submit Comments)
- The Drift Relay is a collaborative psychogeographic experience in the form of a 24 hour exploration of San Jose. Participants ("Drifters") will drift through new and familiar city spaces with a Glowlab coach and a mobile kit of recording tools, contributing to a collective journey of endurance and discovery.

- “From Dusk Till Dawn” is a visual, interactive installation of mobile communication technologies in urban space.

- [murmur] is an intimate and innovative approach to discovering the life of a neighbourhood. Via their cell phones, visitors and passers-by will be able to listen to histories, personal stories and anecdotes about a place while in that place, told by those who live in or are connected to the neighbourhood. Signs placed in sites throughout the area will indicate the presence of a story and a number that can be dialed to access it. The stories, lasting between 30 seconds and 2 minutes, will give visitors an insight into the personal relationship people have with the spaces they inhabit, and a chance to rediscover the space in a new way. The location of stories and other information on these activities will be posted on the terminus1525 web site, www.terminus.1525.ca and on the [murmur] website, www.murmurtoronto.ca.
- experience, subconsciously coloring our perception of a place. Yet such features are inherently unrepeatable, unique to every individual's listening experience, and, unlike a photograph, the location of a recording is difficult to recognize. 'Placing Voices' is a mobile-sound-blog software which uses the built-in sound recording feature of mobile phones (which is optimized for voice) and MMS messaging to place these fragments on a web-accessible map of the city as they occur. The objective is to express a map in terms of these experiences, to restore some claim to my memory of physical spaces over the transient voices heard within them. (Submit Comments)
- In stitching together we invite you and other text message-users to share text messages and transform them into tangible and physical text messages made out of thread and fabric. We want to make it possible for you to make these intimate, digital treasures longer lasting and stitch together different techniques, different speeds, people of different ages and different usage of communication channels.
- transfigured from a world of infinitely reflecting signifiers embodied, into a new materiality. a super flat hierarchy of sound and image, thought and code; our code is the embodiment of self. we are everywhere. a meshwork of wireless entities, media creatures seeking a fragmented existence to be consumed in the nanoseconds of play-time in the emerging wireless net.
