audioTagger: Wireless Phonography

audiotagger.gif audioTagger will be presented at Digital Art Weeks Zürich 10-14 July.

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.

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!
