Abstract
In this paper, we present the Media Portrait of the Liberties (MPL), a hands-on investigation of a new, digitally mediated form of narrative that makes extensive use of mobile computing technology. We position our work among other locative media project by means of differences and similarities and share the preliminary findings resulting from an extensive pilot study. MPL is an evolving collection of historically inspired stories drawn from written accounts of the rich inner city area in Dublin, Ireland known as �the Liberties.� The objective of MPL is to provide viewers with a nuanced and evocative sense of place as they walk the streets of this striking neighborhood. The project also functions as catalyst for members of the Liberties community to contribute new stories, potentially enriching and evolving the portrait.
