[Rumori] idea to port over to audio domain?

[Steev Hise]

on Mon, 4 Jul 2005 Bob Boster told me:

->bb> Got tweaked to the Yellow Arrow Project on another list I'm on and I
->think it has promise.  Even more so for audio...  If someone has nothing
->better to do that port this over to a revised version for audio, I think it
->would be a great public service, not to mention probably a lifelong gig
->with some clever grant writing.  Sounds like an Aaron Ximm kind of thing,
->but the more the merrier...

Muy intersante.  especially since i just found out and blogged
about Geotagging last week:
http://detritus.net/steev/mt/archives/000397.html
(basically a database of photos tagged to coordinates on the
globe, using Flickr, Google, and some custom software)

I share Rheingold's reservations about littering the world with
yellow trash.  i like the idea of *invisible* tags - what if you
had a PDA/GPS unit that automatically told you when you passed by
a location that had been tagged? no unsightly sticker  involved.

funny how they mention the Situationists but get it wrong,
they started in France not Italy. plus, i dunno, the
psychogeographical  seems in direct friction with the
cybernetic nature of the yellow arrow thing.  computerizing
(mechanizing, automating) the whole experience of wandering and discovering was, i think, never
a priority of Debord's, or Benjamin's or Baudelaire's either

but maybe that's just my luddic interpretation...

but anyway what would be an audio version?  when you see an
arrow, look up the appropriate podcast on your Ipod, and listen?
or when you hear an arrow?  ;-)

thanx bob!
