At what point do screens (and I use this term loosely, to indicate the use of mobile computing devices as well as other mobile technology strategies) simply interfere with directly engaging with a place or a space? Furthermore, in projects that attempt to engage in some degree of activism (e.g. mobile environmental sensing systems), at what point does the technology simply get in the way of meaningful political action?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn this presentation, Jordan Dalton will explore some of his recent work that engages with place and participation. He will present, and critique, some related projects by others that exemplify, and complicate, the seeming contradiction presented by the concept of a \u0022placeful screen.\u0022\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio\u003C\/strong\u003E:\u003Cbr \/\u003EJordan Dalton (\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.jordandalton.com\/\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.jordandalton.com\/\u003C\/a\u003E) is a media practitioner, freelance web\/software developer, experimental geographer, fish listener, urban gardener, and environmental and food justice activist. His work explores sound as a tool for research and storytelling, ecologies (built, hidden, and otherwise), and the situated use of media to educate and activate.
