I recently joined a project at the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation to research the interplay between ICT and urban spheres.

My interest lies in how new ICTs - e g location-aware, networked and camera-equipped handheld devices - are bridging the gap between physical and network space, linking spatial and anti-spatial processes and creating new forms of social interaction and community exchange. Some early examples are geocaching, moblogging, mid-air messaging, location-based urban games and wireless tagging.

It would be interesting to hear if anyone else on the list is looking into similar issues, or have any tips on related research or phenomena.
