Abstract

A phone number is displayed on a large screen in a public space along with the instruction "sms your family origins." Participants sms their own and their parents places of birth to this number and linked curved vectors are added to a public map that updates in real-time as it receives texts. Locals can sms their Australian postcodes. The map is not static, texts are displayed in real-time, while the map zooms in to the countries of origin and animated vectors connect the locations. As more people participate the map grows to include accumulated vectors.
