All Points is a proposal for a small set of unofficial wayfinding and orientation points physically embedded in New York’s urban fabric, each about the size of a person’s hand. Each small display will be based on the same networked computing platform, set of content genres, and special stochastic pixel matrix. But as well as bearing location- and time-specific content and vectors, the shape of each display will be custom fabricated to fit or patch a unique local condition – a form appropriate to a mutable city of patches, reuse, and myriad pedestrian practices, and an argument that locative computing need not itself be mobile in order to engage mobility.

Linked by Air with Mat Laibowitz was chosen as a semi-finalist for “Toward the Sentient City”, an exhibition critically exploring the evolving relations between ubiquitous computing, architecture and the city, organized by The Architectural League NY.
