Being here: Performative aspects of locative media

I have to admit I found this to be a rather tedious read. Alan Peacock's writing style is very dull and did not keep my interest very well. However, the subject matter he is talking about is rather interesting.
The reading is about locative media in all of its forms. This can include technology, like PDAs, MP3 players, mobile phones but also books and other literary devices. Basically, the phrase 'locative media' used here refers to artifacts that fall into the broad and increasingly loosely defined cultural category of 'art.' (pg.65) He states this and then goes on to include pretty much any conceivable way to use locative media in terms of art and what it would mean to do so in terms of performance.
Generally, locative media is very much made of place and location. It deals with ideas about travelling, and being in one place and out of another, of located and dislocated, and the feelings and states of being this brings (pg.70). There are so many different elements and ways of perception that locative media can bring to an artistic project. Alan Peacock attempts to cover all of them.
This article made me think how saturated my world is with technological devices, and how it is becoming very difficult to live a life without them. Our lifestyles are so engrossed that we do not even notice it anymore. Take OSU for example. You cannot function or really attend the school without a computer and Internet access. Everything is online this class is mostly online. I do not have Internet and until recently ( as in 2 weeks ) I did not have a computer. It has been so difficult for me to accomplish my schoolwork, and schedule for classes, and everything else that goes along with it. It seems only appropriate that now that our lives revolve around technology that art should be constructed in the same vain.
Peacock's last sentence states, "Most notably, perhaps, they need us to re-imagine issues of audience and participation, and as a part of that, our own roles as artists." I think this is true not only within locative media but within any form or style used to create art.
