Making art public: mobilizing public art through technology

Unrestricted This thesis explores the projects PDPal, Yellow Arrow, and REMAPPING LA, showing that the artists who produced them have extended and advanced Situationist International praxis by using mobile Web-based technologies. These projects show that today's artists and thinkers are not only recalling and contemporizing the revolutionary work of the SI, they are redefining public exploration by interrupting both our usual motivations for using mobile devices, and the public space through which we move.
