Mapping & Community Engagement - Liverpool


Liverpool-based artist Alan Dunn worked in collaboration with Re-Dock throughout 2009 to develop a series of creative consultations, inviting communities from North Liverpool to put forward imaginative ideas for the future of Leeds-Liverpool canal.

Cultural mapping projects and working in situ with communities is becoming a strong methodology for creating interactive and participatory projects involving mobile and wireless technologies. Through the use of location aware media mobile technolgies (these include GPS location devices) audiences are given tools to author or input their own information about where they are or what they find important in their surroundings at any given moment.

Mobile technolgies are tools that can inspire >> real world << interventions as well as allow people to network between each other sending and sharing creative content including photos and videos.
