Three-Day Event Highlights Diverse Uses of Communications Technology
New York, NY, SEP. 15, 2004 - NYCwireless, The Alliance for Downtown New York Inc., and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) are co-sponsoring Spectropolis: Mobile Media, Art and the City, a three-day event that highlights, investigates and expands upon the diverse uses of every-day communications technology. Spectropolis, which takes place from Oct. 1 to Oct. 3 in Manhattan's City Hall Park will explore how the increasing presence of mobile communication technologies (cellphones, laptops, PDAs) is transforming the manner in which people live, construct, react and navigate through their daily environments.
Visitors to Spectropolis will experience and witness "live" projects such as screen-based interactions, audio narratives and physical installations powered or reliant upon the invisible forces of wireless technology. Projects will include a luminescent flower whose colorful glow intensifies as it moves closer to wireless internet "hot spots", a wireless bicycle that chalks text messages from the web onto city streets, a portable hearing device that transmits a soundscape in response to its immediate surroundings, and a computer station open to the public for free download of digital art objects.
