The New School in collaboration with Creative Time and Parsons School of Design hosts Blur 03's Projects and Prototypes presentation featuring Giles Lane, founder and co-director of Proboscis, a non-profit cultural organization and creative studio based in London. He will present a current project entitled Urban Tapestries which is part of SoMa (Social Matrices) a Proboscis research program. Urban Tapestries is a framework for understanding the social, cultural, economic and political implications of pervasive location-based mobile and wireless systems. Urban Tapestries is a forum for exploring and sharing experience and knowledge, for leaving and annotating ephemeral traces of peoples' presence in the geography of the city. The project is a partnership between Proboscis, the London School of Economics, Hewlett Packard Labs and Orange. For more information,www.proboscis.org.uk/urbantapestries/index.html
