Porta-Pack: A mobile network on the go

One of the projects from we-make-money-not-art.com's blogging of the New Cultural Networks conference in Amsterdam: the Porta-Pack:

"Together with Ilze Black and Alexei Blinov, Chu Lea created porta-pack, a mobile network on the go.

It includes a modified wifi network system, a webcam, a signal-generation device and a GPS tracking unit.

Through this wireless transmission device, people are able to interact and communicate regardless of geographical boundaries and without obstructions. You might develop a different connection with the people around you. You used to discuss mostly with people living at the other side of the planet and with the portapack you get out in the street and meet your neighbours."
