Urban Tapestries: Public Authoring, Place and Mobility
A Proboscis White Paper by Giles Lane & Sarah Thelwall
This white paper presents our vision for public authoring and our conclusions on its relationships to place and mobility. We argue for design solutions to focus on actual people in real world contexts and situations, offer insights from the public trials of our prototypes and set out Proboscis’ own future vision and research agenda. Finally we recommend a series of policy proposals for realising a public knowledge commons, structured around place.

About Urban Tapestries:
Urban Tapestries is a Proboscis project exploring social and cultural uses of the convergence of place and mobile technologies through transdisciplinary research. Facilitating virtual annotations of the city, and allowing ordinary citizens to embed social knowledge in the new wireless landscape of the city, it seeks to enable people as their own authors and agents, not merely as consumers of content provided to them by telecoms and media corporations.
