Installation projects are getting more interesting, and more digital these days. Urban Cursor, a project by danish designer Sebastian Campion, is a GPS enabled object designed to facilitate social interaction and play in public space. A super-size cursor that act as a bench and can be easily move about from one place to another. The movement is tracked and recorded in google maps, with users photos tag onto it. Nice location installation that make use of social media, but just wondering could it be a way to track human behaviors?
