Abstract:
GPSFilm is a new media artwork that invents an innovative way of watching a movie based on the viewer’s location. Using a GPS-enabled PDA or mobile phone, a movie is revealed as the viewer travels. By merging mobile computing with cinema, the audience creates a new type of film experience. The project uses emerging technologies to bring story into real space; to use neighborhoods, architecture, and landscapes as part of the cinema experience. The setting of a film can also be the setting for watching the film…a unique entertainment encounter.
