installation for a mobile devicesite-specific custom softwarewith Scott Paterson and Julian Bleeker

PDPal was a series of public art projects for Palm™ PDAs, mobile phones, and the web. In contrast to GPS and measurable cartography, PDPal embraced anti-geographic and anti-cartesian approaches, exploring emotionally-based systems to define social and personal space. It revisits the concept of the urban explorer, from Baudelaire's "flaneur" to Dadaists' "deambulations," Benjamin's urban wanderer, Situationists' "derives," Hakim Bey's "Temporary Autonomous Zones," and contemporary psychogeography. PDPal aimed to reclaim the city as a space of wonder, not just labor.
