Sonic Graffiti - turning the city into a soundscape
Sonic Graffiti is a wonderful idea for turning the cityscape into an interactive soundscape.
The basic idea is using a number of electronic devices graffiti artists create musical pieces as they paint graffiti pieces. They can upload their finished pieces to a central location and geotag it. Other people with special receivers can point their receiver at a piece of graffiti and then listen to the piece of music that goes with the graffiti.
(Mind - you this is all just an idea - it doesn't really exist yet.)
I find ideas like this really interesting - the idea of being able to move through an environment and select a feature and get information (music, text, ads, video, data) from that feature via a wireless device is great. Our cities could become so much richer - a whole new layer of experience and information could lie across our environments.
Come on future - happen!

that's very cool. i could just imagine all those adverts companies trying to bombard that sphere when that technology actually becomes reality. perhaps creating more of a class line between the "have's" and "have nots" where the "haves" will received certain "priviledged" adverts/info where the "have nots" won't be able to get.
