John Curall- Locative Media

I just realized I somehow forgot to post about this reading. I found the locative media stuff very interesting. I have long cringed at the history lost when older buildings are bulldozed in favor of a parking lot or whatever. Especially a lot of the old theaters. These places all have a story to tell that a simple plaque could not do justice. Using digital media seems like an excellent way to tell those stories and keep them alive, especially in a media driven society. I think it would be a great way to preserve history. I am sorry I was sick when you had the guest speaker about this. I would have probably found that presentation to be quite interesting and enjoyable. I look forward to exploring this topic in the future.
