A re-engagement with the cultural and physical landscape of Edinburgh by imagining and enacting a geographical conversation with eight figures of the past. Leaving a physical and virtual trail which others will be able to follow both during and after the project, eight prominent characters will engage in an conversation both amongst themselves, but also with their followers on Twitter and Brightkite.

Physical manifestation of the messages at specific GPS locations will provide an opportunity for followers to explore the city and further engage in a dialogue with the characters. As the project continues, it will be possible to trace the temporal, spatial and physical evolution of the conversation across the month and the city.

Digital culture is pervasive and ever evolving. The Alt-w Fund supports experimentation with new media, as both artistic subject and as creative tool. The focus for 2008/09 was to support projects which dynamically engage audiences beyond the traditional screen.

The exhibition Reveal/Reset reflects our information-rich world where attention is a commodity. As consumers we filter, as creators we share. In response, we forge new paths. These artworks engage with these accelerated times and its dispersed networks of communication.
