Locative Media Supercluster
Collaborative meeting grounds for locative media in the XXI century
We explore new forms of creating and learning with locative media in the light of locally-globally issues, our planetary crises and forces of global change, encouraging local and global joined-up-thinking.
Online Courses
We teach Collaborative Locative Media at distance, matching your profile with new people, creating vibrant teams of earthlings working together for the first time and probably for a very long time ahead. For all interested in the potential of locative media and place based practices in a variety of fields globally: from literature to visuals arts, from sound arts to performative arts, from heritage to urban planning, from environment to community.
How to apply
Contact us and we will tell you when the next online course will happen.
Locative Media Game
We created the Supercluster Brainstorming Game as a micro online workshop / meet up for all, to boost your creativity beyond the limits of the consensual reality. We will match you with a team of people from all over the world, celebrating the diversity of cultures in creative encounters for an one hour online game. The game is generating a cascade of new ideas, electrifying creativity and opening new horizons for all backgrounds and ages. No technological knowledge is required, just come with your stories and ideas.
How to play
We organize one game per month, please contact us and we will add you to the mailing list.
Workshops
We propose a variety of one day to five day online workshops bringing the new world of collaborative locative media to you. We have over a decade long experience in projects with locative media, creating and geolocating content that helps us connect better with the public space, with our history and with the Earth. We are happy to share this practice with local and global groups, beginners or experienced, to get you going or tailor-made for your project or organisation. For all ages and backgrounds, no technological knowledge is required.
