Abstract

Calling attention to the impressive acceleration of media transformations which, in less than two centuries, from the invention of photography reaches nowadays mobile internet, this article deals with the culture of mobility, an advanced variety of cyberculture based on mobile devices linked to GPS. One of the most relevant practices that this new alliance is bringing about is called locative media. They are provoking the emergency of new spacialities of access, presence, and interaction that reconstitute the way in which our encounters with specific places, their borders e our responses to them are socially and culturally founded.
