Making travelling easier for the disabled thanks to GPS cell phones

Nicolas Novo reports on Pasta&Vinegar, of an interesting project by Antoni Aba presented by the city of Geneva and Handicap Architecture Urbanisme (HAU) called GENEVE*accessible.

"The project intends to make traveling easier for the disabled by providing them disabled GPS-enabled mobile telephones so that they can take pictures of every obstacle they come across in Geneva.

By means of multimedia messages they create a map of the accessibility of the city on the internet.

The resulting work will be presented at the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, within a series of related live events: the “Créateurs Singuliers” week (27th May-1rst June)."
