ABSTRACT
Location media scholar Adriana de Souza e Silva interviews locative media artist Teri Rueb, who has for decades made work around wayfaring, including locative media audiowalks that focus on bridging digital location information to physical environment—charting the vital act of listening to place and highlighting the importance of experiential soundings and the subjective “heard.” Rueb is best known for having established the form of GPS-based interactive installations, sometimes referred to as “locative media,” as early as 1997. Rueb’s work became a reference for generations of newer locative media artists interested in exploring the relationship between spaces, location-based technologies and mobility.
