audioTagger, by Eva Sjuve, will be presented at Digital Art Weeks, Zurich :: July 10-14, 2007.

audioTagger is a mobile - phone - sound - art - in - urban - space research project, or can be defined as, wireless phonography (”mobile sound writing”). audioTagger is a momentary exploration of urban space, to capture a sonic moment using mobile technology. Anybody with a data enabled mobile phone can participate and contribute to AudioTagger’s exploration of the environment, using the mobile phone as a field recorder, “phonographic tool”, ubiquitous and artistic. The mobile phone is used in this application, being the most ubiquitous tool at present, within wireless architecture; creating a seamless computing environment with the Internet.

Today, the physical world, and the digital world have an established connection. audioTagger is a tool to explore the relation between physical space and its everyday presence, and its integrations into mobile space. Urban space is here viewed both as a communication platform and the subject for exploration. What does this mobility mean to the aesthetic expression, when making a field recording?

The location of the field-recording can be viewed and the sound listened to, on a Google map. If anybody out there want their location on the audioTaggermap, just shout: evasjuve[at]moomonkey.com. Related >>
