A panel discussion of intersections of locative art, mobile media and public space to mark the occasion of the launch of LA Re.Play: Mobile Network Culture in Placemaking, a special issue of Leonardo Electronic Almanac [LEA] edited by Hana Iverson, Mimi Sheller and executive editor Lanfranco Aceti. Current location technologies have become tools used by contemporary artists, theorists, designers and scientists to reformulate our understanding of social engagement within an enlarged concept of place. These new mobile networks have altered the way people exist in and relate to spaces where the real and virtual world blend, blurring the lines of traditional spatial dimensions and frameworks. This special issue provides a variety of perspectives and practices on the meaning and interpretation of today’s locative media.
