[Air-l] Know of humanities/social science research on wireless?

[Jason Rutter]

Hi Jill,

As well as Nina Wakefield there's a whole host of good stuff going on at the
work done at the Digital World Research Centre in Surrey -
www.surrey.ac.uk/dwrc/.

More specifically focused on games in the EC's IPERG project -
http://iperg.sics.se. Their web site is a bit lacking in actual info at
present but they are well placed to deliver some very interesting working in
the near future.

Also, you might find something interesting in the proceedings for the
conference "Mobile Entertainment: User-centred Perspectives" which took
place last year - www.cric.ac.uk/cric/Jason_Rutter/MEPro.htm

Hope this helps.

Jase

Subject: [Air-l] Know of humanities/social science research on wireless?

Some colleagues and I are planning a research project proposal about
wireless 
technology and its cultural uses. I'd love to know about any other research 
projects that are looking at wireless technology from a humanities, arts or 
social science point of view. I know of some interesting locative media 
development projects (and, for instance, contagious media - this exhibition
in 
NYC looks great! http://www.newmuseum.org/now_cur_contagiousmedia.htm), but
am 
less aware of more theoretical research and would love to know more!

I do know of Nina Wakefield's work (heard her speak at ISEA:
http://jilltxt.net/?
p=973) and Erkki Huhtamo's work on the history of mobile media (http://
jilltxt.net/?p=967) and I have a grad student working on pervasive games,
which 
is fascinating. But I'm sure there's a lot more!

Any ideas?

Jill
