PETE GOMES' work fuses new technologies and cinema. His "Geocinema"
project utilizes Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and other devices to
explore what it means to be able to return to the exact location where a
film was made and how to utilize this 'unseen' information in the film.
Gomes is a freelance director and digital film lecturer at the
Architectural Association, London. He is also founder and director of
"Park Bench TV" and "mutantfilm."
38 NORTH 118 WEST focuses on site specific experimental works utilizing
digital media, computing, and internet resources, and explores inventive
ways to use GPS technology with rich cultural content. Jeff Knowlton is
an artist, musician, lecturer, programmer, and museum preparator. Naomi
Spellman is a transmedia artist and educator. Both teach at the
University of California, San Diego.
