Progress of Final Projects: Interactive Fiction, Locative Arts, Etc.

So I'm getting started with my research by looking up articles about locative media on JSTOR. I pulled an article called Locative Arts by Drew Hemment, which details some of locative media works from 2003 to 2004, featuring the ideas of location based games from Blast Theory, GPS Drawing from Jeremy Wood, and other artists that involve using location, physical environment, and much more to the umbrella term of locative media.

From what I got out of this article, the basis of annotating space is the main function for locative media/art for what it is. It's the idea that artists create markings in physical or virtual space in order to comment about the functions of life, or whatever one wishes to believe in the paradigm of thinking about location-based arts.
