Minute Man Tourists Can Dial Up History
- May 19 2004
This month, Minute Man National Historic Park
became the first in the US to offer a cellphone
guide. For $5.99, visitors can call up an
hourlong take on Paul Revere and the North
Bridge, according to
Boston.com
"For years, the park's staff has been trying
to develop a feasible alternative to the audio
tours offered at most museums. The guides are
wildly popular, with 100,000 of them rented
during just the last year at Boston's Museum of
Fine Arts. But Minute Man officials say the
nature of the site -- it's spread over 967 acres
-- and its limited staff hours make renting
prerecorded units a logistical nightmare.
Spatial Adventures has been looking to corner
the market on cell-tour technology even though
it's far from refined".
Text Messaging Theatre - Oct 22 2003
Spectators at The
Bull Arts
Centre in Northern London are in for an
evening of textual enhancement as
Texterritory's multi-media, non-linear story
breaks the traditional relationships of dance,
theater, and the audience.
The public plays their role as part of a
dynamic and influential audience in this truly
unique multi media, interactive text messaging
performance.
In a previous performance, Texterritory was a
playground concept in which the audience
controlled the physical bodies of dancers and
musicians along with lighting, music and midi
system at specific times in the performance...
