Aware - a project from UIAH in Helsinki that uses mobile phones to collect and display images, text, and sounds based on cell id.

Personal memory gathers, shifts and adapts according to activity, event and journey. It may be associated to someone, or anonymous, and it may be of importance to someone else. Ups and downs, special occasions or everyday minutia; Fantastical obsession or critical reality, loves, frustrations and desires. Sometimes these experiences spill into the collective domain as story, rumour, history and scandal, documented in the media with vested interest. But rarely can you contribute to the collective domain, even though it happens to you.

Check out the great links section, which includes work by Mongrel, a classically British art collective.
