Surface Patterns was open to the public in Huddersfield, UK, between Sept 04 and Sept 05.

Ten sites picked for their significance to the town in terms of education, transport and culture were tagged with 2000 facts made freely available on request via sms. An audio service gave access to local people talking about their personal connections to each place.

Commissioned artist Jen Southern created Audio Tours, using GPS to explore how memory is linked to urban and domestic place.

Surface Patterns was created by Blink, the UK's leading innovators in vernacular creativity and portable devices. Clikc the logo above to see the original Surface Patterns website, and for more of Blink's work visit www.blinkmedia.org
