About

This conference day, Friday, October 28, 1:00pm to 7:00pm at TIFF Bell Lightbox will explore emerging themes and practices in locative and mobile media as well as showcase the results of the TIFF Nexus Peripherals Initiative creative jam. Locative Media is an emerging field at the intersection of GPS/mapping, augmented reality, mobile devices and content. As the world moves into a trackable, sensor-rich and location-aware reality – the TIFF Nexus Locative Media Innovation Day looks at what kinds of social practices, entrepreneurial opportunities and artistic endeavors can be unlocked. TIFF Nexus and Digifest 2011 Innovation Days chart this terrain during a full-day conference with a variety of forward-looking panel discussions, hands-on creative activities, respected special guests and networking opportunities.
