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.
