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. For more details see
