12. learning to get lost “ Not to find oneself in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance – nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city – as one loses oneself in a forest – that calls for quite a different schooling”. Walter Benjamin Illuminations thank you sarah barns
Notes de l'éditeur
I’ll be speaking today about an initiative I’ve established with the ABC – Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Australia’s oldest broadcaster recently celebrated its 75 th anniversary. Recently its MD Mark Scott outlined his ambition to make the ABC’s presence in Australia ubiquitous – everywhere, on every platform. Presence on Google Earth, mobile sites, Second Life, as well as digital radio, broadband, television. Sydney Sidetracks represents the ABC’s first foray into what is sometimes called ‘location-based media’. As you'd be aware, this is the kind of media that is specifically tailored to your location or context, often offered by GPS to handheld devices. London’s got the most advanced scene in the world, much more than in Oz. London phone calls.. While the project is a bit future oriented in terms of it the way it engages geo-aware interfaces and platforms, Sydney Sidetracks is very much about using these platforms to build new connections with the ABC’s archives, bringing its reportage over the past few decades into the reach of today’s digital and in particular mobile media users. Sidetracks also provides an example of how the introduction of a community or place based narrative context into the presentation of archives is in turn building new relationships with online users - some of them unintended.
