Nicolas Nova, who blogs about many smartmobby topics, interviews occasional smartmoblogger and instigator of We Make Money Not Art, Régine Debatty:

In general I’d say that locative projects that deal with environmental issues are the most relevant (to me at least), like myriel milicevic’s neighbourhood satellites. In the ‘map’ mode of her project, the system receives data from the other ’satellites’ carried by people in the area, and displays on a map, their location and contamination level. This mode could generate some interesting behaviours: A group of players, gathering in larger numbers at polluted street junctions, navigating their satellites through thick air, might just as well be interpreted as a silent protest. Or (at a very selfish level) imagine what it could be like to have direct information about the quality of air and light in an area and be able to bargain the price of the house on that basis. Another example is the Feral Robots by urban tapestry. I like this idea of using locative media to give the man on the street the tools to understand what’s going on in his own neighbourhood, to do that in a playful, non-academic, non-threatening way.
