Transport yourself into LEA‘s latest, that peeks into the world of locative media. The extensive offerings are chock-full with insights of this fascinating topic, which "is understood to include bodily, technological and cultural components, combining cultural practices and the embodiment of the user, with various 'media' and location sensing technologies such as GPS."

"As an emerging field, locative media is simultaneously opening up new ways of engaging in the world and mapping its own domain," defines Locative Media Special issue guest editor Drew Hemment.

Indulge in the Locative Media Gallery. Locative Media, on and off the beaten track curated by Suhjung Hur, Annie On Ni Wan and Andrew Paterson, it explores this "hybrid and still emerging media culture and research field, (which) includes a rich spectrum of activities: collaborative mapping, open technology experimentation, tactical/surveillance critique, urban gameplay and subjective storytelling."

Additionally, for the first time, an associated curriculum section and bibliography index is developed to provide our community of artists, scientists and technologists with access to valuable resources developed by our community of international experts for the art, science and technology community.
