WiFi Bedouin @ Vectors

[Archived in Entry]

[ColumnNetwork.org] Vectors: Journal of Culture and Technology in a Dynamic Vernacular is seeking proposals for creative or scholarly uses of a mobile server/transmitter unit known as the WiFi Bedouin for inclusion in its Mobility issue to be published in late Summer 2005. Designed by Julian Bleecker, the WiFi Bedouin uses a portable 500mW 802.11b transmitter and Mac OS X based web server that is ready to receive your portable web content. The system includes basic software for web pages, group chat, an open blog and iTunes music streaming, but users are free to add custom software as desired.

Some slightly related from Technorati and Google.

[Wireless.engadget.com] The WiFi.Bedouin - Wireless - wireless.engadget.com: It’s couched in all sorts of rhetoric about “challenging conventional assumptions about WiFi and suggesting new architectures for digital networks” and how this is an “an apparatus that forces one to reconsider and question notions of virtuality, materiality, displacement, proximity and community,” but all the WiFi.Bedouin really is is a backpack with a wireless access point and a battery pack in it. The idea is to create a little self-contained local area network anywhere, so the access point isn’t itself connected to the Internet and all you get is the ability to hook up to whatever other computers or handhelds are nearby and/or visit spoofed versions of web sites you might try to search for. I think we’re already pretty good at not being able to connect to the Internet from everywhere, and lots of pseudo-theoretical posturing can’t hide the fact that this isn’t all that interesting.
