A Framework for Spatial Interaction in Locative Media

This paper presents the concepts and techniques used in a family of location based multimedia works. The paper has three main sections: 1.) to describe the architecture of an audio-visual hardware/software framework we have developed for the realization of a series of locative media artworks, 2.) to discuss the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings motivating the design of the technical framework, and 3.) to elicit from this, fundamental issues and questions that can be generalized and applicable to the growing practice of locative media.
