Three Los Angeles artists are “using military GPS technology to create a new kind of art form – the urban story space.” They’ve staked out a patch of land in the city and “visitors to the site are given headphones, a handheld global positioning system (GPS) device, and a tablet PC with special software to help guide them around the industrial landscape, which was a vital area during the early to mid-20th century.The equipment works much like the headphones with wands that museums supply visitors for tours, but here, the GPS shows people the ‘hot spots’ of information on a digital map. When visitors stand near a hot spot, the software triggers a story about that site.”
