Locative media is augmented reality outdoors . It blends being in real places with storytelling and information or knowledge about the place, just by walking around with a mobile phone or via an interactive map.

Locative media allow us to root with place and nature, creating new experiences to listen and to see, to resonate with and to feel our planet, its space, its time and its beings.

Commissioned or co-coordinated by educational institutions, we organize up online courses around the world. In 2020 the Earthlings Summer School at King's College London, and in 2021 the Meeting of the Waters Spring School at the University of Canberra.

These courses match 36 participants of a variety of disciplines. In teams of 6 they think together about local-global topics of crises, and work on a collective locative project, in their place and community, guided by leading experts, scholars, renowned artists, and by local and native experts.

The courses are open to everybody with a deep interest in place, community, nature and the earth, without the need for previous technical knowledge.

Commissioned or co-coordinated by educational and cultural partners we organized online or hybrid workshops for the University of Sao Paulo, the !Musica¡ Festival in Sao Paulo (Brazil), for the British Library in London (UK), for the Urban Tree Festival (UK), for the Analogio Festival in Athens, the Walking Arts Encounters/Conference in Prespa (Greece), for Media Architecture Biennale 2021 (Queensland, Australia) and for Walking Body III - University of Minho in Guimaraes (Portugal)..

Our workshops introduce you into the new world of collaborative locative media, locative audio / music and locative literature, by creating a small project to get you going and tailor-made for your organisation or group. On the measure of beginners with no technological knowledge, or for intermediate and advanced participants who want to delve deeper.

We organized commissioned workshops about a variety of subjects, as for example about the sounds and silences of the city, psychogeographical walking, other-than-human lifeforms, interspecies interaction in the city, the habitat of lake areas, and the history, present and future of urban cultural space.

Everybody with a creative mind, and from all backgrounds and ages, including children can participate in a workshop, no need for previous digital experience.

The Locative Media Game combines an online game with the meet up of a group of local or global participants. They are each divided in teams of six according to their variety of backgrounds, to play and to open horizons, with new ideas and collective solutions for local-global questions introducing many ways how locative media and locative storytelling can be used, from with a compass to with a geigerteller.

A virtual deck of cards and dice get you going, in the company of a game master, to conceptualize and create a locative media project, and most of all as a playful catalyst for joined up thinking and brainstorming of new collective and creative approaches towards our planetary crises.

This game is available in a session of one hour or a longer session of two times two hours over two days.

Everybody with a creative mind, and from all backgrounds and ages, including children can participate in this game, no need for previous digital experience.

A growing community of participants to the Summer/Spring Schools are invited around monthly fire pits, bringing together the ancient tradition of storytelling around the fire with digital technology. Participants are invited to bring their personal story and their practice to the gathering, introducing -as Firekeepers- an open conversation between all and inviting to share Earth Stories. Earth Stories are stories of connection with the earth, of grounding, of rooting, and of hope and change, as an inspiration and a generator of actions towards the healing of our planet.

The Firekeepers-storytellers are digitally mapped and connected via the Firekeepers map, allowing them to network and collaborate globally, but also to reach out to local communities. The map is both global and local, with at some locations walking experiences offered on your mobile phone, by using the web app of the map. Video documentation of the Firepit talks are available for all interested.

We coordinate, organize and design collaboratively courses, workshops, educational games, collaborative projects and processes in an integrative approach to relationships with one another and with the more-than-human Earth via locative practices and locative media.

On a personal level, the practice of locative media will allow you to live and experience territories in a different way, by creating new connections with places, people, stories, locally and around the world.
