MetaMobileMedia
An experiment on mobility, media and people. An used, big, car, with loads of embedded open-source multimedia technology, travelling around a) Europe b) Brazilian North-east. Hackers & Circus Crews & Gipsies & Artists, on the road. Unlike the mediocre sociability of european families that have motorhomes and trailers to bring private life abroad, we want to explore social, public uses for that kind of vehicle. Freak circus arrives and opens and suddenly the circus is not what is used to be in the last city. Create live (living, organic, symbolic, conflituous, dynamic) links between people and spaces and ideas in different places. We don't propose residencies, but itinerancies. The car is built and hacked and transformed in each different destination. Humanity is movement. Migrations. Exchange.
Based on Tati and Ruiz's Midia Kombi: http://pub.descentro.org/lab_movel_midia_kombi , in some ffs ideas for his MetaMóvel that never happened and other things.
- Transportation Metarecycling
- Opening up transportation technologies, in a broad sense
- Mobility
- Trailer, motorhome, camper, caravan, kombi, caravelle, multivan
- GPS - creating maps
- Sensors, capture devices - collects data, measuress
- Clean energy - sun, wind, movement (como fala dínamo?)-> dynamo :)
In every stop, the van changes
Workshops - Mobile Media.
- cameras
- radio equalizer
- tv equalizer
- GPS
- sensors - temperature, humidity, etc. vs. GPS - physical log
- PA - audio amplifier, loudspeakers, mesa de som, microphones
- Volksbeamer or projector, screen.
- Drive-by film screenings and multi-media events

Questions
- Social vs. private
- Group survival. Not killing each other.
- Techno-tribalisms -- social formations and mapping the individual and group psyche within these new trajectories of interaction
- Analysing the ethical considerations and issues that come from orienting technology firmly in the social. The cultural encounter with ´hard-to-reach´groups and the recommendations and questions that follow.
- Live link between spaces people projects times.
- Mobile Information Bases - Locative media, dis-locative, desplazamientos, trans-porting
- Transportation technology: GPS, weather, news, connectivity, documentation, information infrastrucutres
