Curatorial Statement
Mobile Connections (2004) was the first major art exhibition on mobile and locative media. It was staged by Futuresonic at the Urbis museum in Manchester, featuring participants from more than 20 countries.
The exhibition explored how mobile and wireless media reconfigure social, cultural and information space? Looking beyond computing in its current form, towards the social and cultural possibilities opened by a new generation of networked, location-aware media. Seeking an art of mobile communications: are there any forms of expression that are intrinsic or unique to mobile and wireless media.
