Hi Jill, As well as Nina Wakefield there's a whole host of good stuff going on at the work done at the Digital World Research Centre in Surrey - www.surrey.ac.uk/dwrc/. More specifically focused on games in the EC's IPERG project - http://iperg.sics.se. Their web site is a bit lacking in actual info at present but they are well placed to deliver some very interesting working in the near future. Also, you might find something interesting in the proceedings for the conference "Mobile Entertainment: User-centred Perspectives" which took place last year - www.cric.ac.uk/cric/Jason_Rutter/MEPro.htm Hope this helps.

Some colleagues and I are planning a research project proposal about wireless technology and its cultural uses. I'd love to know about any other research projects that are looking at wireless technology from a humanities, arts or social science point of view. I know of some interesting locative media development projects (and, for instance, contagious media - this exhibition in NYC looks great! http://www.newmuseum.org/now_cur_contagiousmedia.htm), but am less aware of more theoretical research and would love to know more! I do know of Nina Wakefield's work (heard her speak at ISEA: http://jilltxt.net/? p=973) and Erkki Huhtamo's work on the history of mobile media (http:// jilltxt.net/?p=967) and I have a grad student working on pervasive games, which is fascinating. But I'm sure there's a lot more! Any ideas?
