Chapter 4. INTO THE LOCATIVE

Over breakfast with Odile and Alberto, Hollis (former “singer in an early-nineties cult band” The Curfew) learns of other locative art installations, “spatially tagged hypermedia.” “virtual shrines” to the past made possible by geohacking and “(v)isible to all” on special devices such as those designed by Alberto.
