I was browsing through the Sydney Biennale 2008 catalogue (p.110) and was intrigued by Jaques Lacan’s notion of the ‘le petit objet‘ which on the surface got me thinking about the idea in terms of my own research, that the representation of reality can be revealed through what is not there, what is absent.

J put me onto google’s open source android today and the concept that you can point a mobile at a particular building or place and find out specific information in relation to what you are questioning in front of you from the web using GPS type technologies. This could also be used for tourist purposes as a type of virtual guidebook.

Kyla sent this reference across for PP. An ABC production Sydney Sidetracks that places archive audiovisual material in relation to map location points in Sydney. A part of the set-up caters for people to refer to the material on their mobiles at the locations.
Sydney Sidetracks presents a selection of documentary recordings about Sydney’s changing street life. We’ve dusted off the archives for you to explore online or take out with you on your mobile next time you visit the city. Use the map page to explore key locations around inner city Sydney. Selected locations feature audio, video and photos about that place – an event in time, a person who once lived there, a building now demolished, a story to be told.
