Abstract

This paper examines the possibilities of designing locative media for creative misuse by learning from non-conventional and interventive urban practices. Instead of taking technologies as a starting point, we focused on the location and media related practices of two distinct communities who by virtue of the practices they are engaged with, have a particular relationship to places and spaces. By collaboratively mapping their practices we aimed to ground the further development of locative media application concepts and formulate design considerations for creative misuse in this context.
