Not only does the rapid presence of cell phones with camera and video technology help disclose spontaneous acts of something-whatevers occurring all over the world, but new technology's are actually conceiving of new perspectives cities created by those inhabiting them.
Geotagging uses a digital application via cellular triangulation and GPS to encode photos for unlimited possibilities in how we store and view our media. Image anyone with a camera can participate in taking a perspective (photo) of our built (and unbuilt) world, and uploading it to a database for all the world to see.
How can an open system of site positioning urban surveillance serve? How does a database for time, history and perspective of place reevaluate our understanding of identity, culture, geography? and what impact does a "virtual" database of place (accessible thru such devices as iphones and pda's) have on reality?
