The other day I hung out with my friend Jesse Shapins, who co-created the cool personal-story-sharing-through-mobile-technology public art project Yellow Arrow, which inspired my local-history-sharing-through-mobile-technology public art project Cripplebush Ghost Tour. He’s currently getting his PhD in History and Theory of Urbanism and Film and Visual Studies at Harvard and just finished teaching an interesting course at Columbia called Critical Urban Media Arts. Students combined urban theory, social media, and psychogeography to create SMS-based walking tours of specific areas in NYC. Another cool way of using cell phones to share experiences and explore the city!
