Combine these two:

• The Age: Deriving images of lives in Melbourne [thanks to Margaret for sending that]
  

  “An experimental art work at Melbourne’s Australian Centre for the Moving Image is turning ordinary people into multimedia artists.

  The combined exhibition and authoring engine, called D3, which allows users to produce their own animated tour of the city, is proving a hit with visitors.

  Once the piece, called a ‘Derive’, is completed, it can be stored for later use; its makers hope they will be available this year. Inspired as it is by the writings of situationist philosopher Guy Debord, D3 is somewhat abstract, with the images managing to be both familiar and strange – photographs of parts of buildings, graffiti and piles of discarded objects – and the words are what Debord himself would call “pleasingly vague – car, backpacker, why, heavy and so on”.”

• Smartmobs: SenSay, a ‘Context-Aware’ Cell Phone
  

  “The SenSay system uses four primary sensors: a microphone to pick up the user’s voice, another to monitor noise around the user, a light sensor and an accelerometer.”

I like the idea of a personal sensing device… a passive tricorder that can use its impression of the environment around you to adjust it’s user experience, or to create a platform to communicate a specific story, moment, thought or feeling that can’t possibly be separated from the place you are when you have it.

A sharer of haeccity.
