This book considers how a combination of place-based writing and
location responsive technologies produce new kinds of literary
experiences. Building on the work done in the Ambient Literature
Project (2016-2018), this books argues that these encounters
constitute new literary forms, in which the authored text lies at
the heart of an embodied and mediated experience. The visual,
sonic, social and historic resources of place become the elements
of a live and emergent mise-en-scene. Specific techniques of
narration, including hallucination, memory, history, place based
writing, and drama, as well as reworking of traditional
storytelling forms combine with the work of app and user experience
design, interaction, software authoring, and GIS (geographical
information systems) to produce ambient experiences where the user
reads a textual and sonic literary space. These experiences are
temporary, ambiguous, and unpredictable in their meaning but unlike
the theatre, the gallery, or the cinema they take place in the
everyday shared world. The book explores the potentiality of a new
literary form produced by the exchange between location-aware
cultural objects, writers and readers. This book, and the work it
explores, lays the ground for a new poetics of situated writing and
reading practices.
