you may enjoy an iPhone app called “Situationist,” which gives a location-based techno-twist to ideas borrowed from Situationist International, a gang of French artists who (in the words of the latter-day app developers) “sought to transform everyday life and the world through experimental forms of behaviour.” Instead of rewarding you with meaningless badges for vaporous digital check-ins, Situationist urges you to create unpredictable (and yes, arty) little “happenings” with people who happen to be nearby, in hopes of sparking genuine human connection.
