At the Picnic'06 event the Locative Media programme will host a workshop 
on Location Based Play.

When: 28 September, 14-17h.
Where: Ketelhuis II, Picnic '06 / Westergasterrein
How: if you're interested, send an e-mail to locativemedia[AT]waag.org

In this half-day workshop hosted by Waag Society's Locative Media 
programme we will present and work on projects that revolve around 
playful location based media concepts. Approx. four interesting projects 
will first be presented to the participants and the audience, among 
which a survey of recent outdoor and mobile play projects and trends.

Then, with a pregiven set of assignments and restrictions, which may be 
adapted to the problems or issues specific to the experiences of the 
participants, the presenters and workshop participants will engage in a 
concept excercise. They will think up four new playful locative concepts 
using Amsterdam as playground. After this workshop session we will 
return to publicly present and discuss the workshop results to and with 
the audience. These concepts will stand a chance of actually being 
supported and realised at next year's Picnic or one of its partner events.

Topics and speakers will include:

- Trends, highlights, results from the Come Out and Play festival 
Gregory Trefry (NY, USA)

- the Mobile Bristol playing ground projects - Jo Reid, HP Mobile 
Bristol Labs

- Amsterdam Playground: Social and educational applications   Ben 
Cerveny (Playground Foundation) / Ronald Lenz/Aske Hopman, Waag Society
