Spectropolis: Mobile Media, Art and the City is a three-day event (October 1-3, 2004) in Lower Manhattan that highlights the diverse ways artists, technical innovators and activists are using communication technologies to generate urban experiences and public voice. The increasing presence of mobile communication technologies is transforming the ways we live, construct and move through our built environment. The participants of Spectropolis make obvious or play with this shift, creating new urban perceptions and social interactions with cell phones, laptops, wireless internet, PDAs and radio. In addition to twelve projects presented in City Hall Park, there will be several free hands-on workshops and three panels available to the public.

I'm completely not WiFi enabled... no laptop, no PDA, I barely even have a cell phone, and all it does is the basics, but I love this kind of stuff. People getting together and creating things. It's beautiful.

It's supposed to be a rainy day, so bring your WiFi enabled umbrellas.
