Abstract

Portage is an aesthetic, technical and social research project which has, as one of its outcomes, publicly installed interactive artworks, activated largely through mobile phones. We have created a number of interactions that facilitate both haptic and digitally mediated experiences. Users choose among a range of activities that are completed individually or in collaboration: playing musical instruments via mobile devices, viewing themselves as video surveillance subjects, or setting off a series of visual and aural feedback loops based on the presence of mobile devices. The experiences created go beyond cell phones; they include elements of sculpture, performance and other forms of site specificity or locativity.
