ABSTRACT
This chapter investigates emergent “typologies” in the distributed public spaces of the culture of ubiquitous information. It addresses following questions: what constitutes the awareness of the “ubiquitous” citizen? ; What practices and practitioners may be identified working with and in distributed public spaces? The chapter shows that the culture of ubiquitous information is an apparatus implying the production of a “transparent” mediated space. Ubiquitous computers are the hidden texts, the unwritten parts of art in the expanded digital field. The chapter traces one particular type of emergent hybrid practice: The frame-maker or, simply, the producer of technological and conceptual framings; instead of producing works of art, the hybrid artists in the culture of ubiquitous information are producing new domains. The construction of new domains is based on highly different competences unfolding in a hybrid space oscillating between atoms and bits.
