“the loca network observes peoples movements by tracking the position of blue tooth enable device that they carry everyday. Each time that a bluetooth device is detected  at one of the nodes, a log is created. Over the seven days at the 01 exhibition more than 2500 people were detected more than half a million times.  The team can build up detail picture of peoples movements, and draw inferences of their lives without requiring any action from the blue tooth user…” example: LOCA text  message sent to detected blue tooth user:  “You walked past a flower shop and spent 30 minutes in the park, are you in love?” Using open bluetooh as a surveillance tool and a voyeuristic perceiver to the digital landscape, LOCA builds a new experience to our seemingly unaware digital identity in the world right next to  this one.
