The Mobile City @ ISEA2008
I will be heading to Singapore next week to attend ISEA2008 (I’ll be there from July 21st until 30th). I will be presenting some of my own research (very much work in progress) on Urban Culture and New Media. If you will be around as well and would be interested in meeting up to discuss mobile city related themes, let me know at martijn [AT] martijndewaal [DOT] nl.
