The massive rise in satelite navigation devices (and use) in cars is possible because the Americans turned off the scrambling device on the GPS satellites. However, because navigation is governed by the shortest distance between points, it may lead trucks down tiny roads, or people cars through waterlogged fiords.
Something is wrong, why are people getting lost when using car navigation, trying to drive off cliffs, or through watercourses. Lones argument is the there is information missing, the map that satnav is based upon is not situated in the environment.
Michael de Certeau “place is a practiced space”, people access the city in two ways -from outside through the map(not in the game), from inside as a pedestrian(situated person) . The Naked city(Deboard & Jorn, 1957) is a deconstruction of a map into the flow. This is the route description.
So there is the route description and the map, and gps navigation is a route description.
You do need to know what is happening out there.
The dream that GPS manufacturers are selling is false, It dosen’t situate us, this is why people drive into the water. Make us believe that we can be teleported from place to place without worry.

The need for scores in art has become important in the preservation of the art. Video documentation is not the work, and does not recreate the work. It was interesting that one example that was used was that 9 evenings. If there had been a score for the pieces, they may have been able to recreate it. Wish she had Variations VII has been recreated this year at AVFest08.

Margaret Schedel describes one of the works she made as part of her study and the process that is involved in making a score for this piece. She admits that of course making scores is not fun, but it is important and allows the replaying of the work, or at least the intent of the work. This may be why there are so few scores of electonic arts. Too rigid scores are almost as bad as no score.

here is one of them.
