i'm interested in the dialectics of mobility:
(a) geo-mobility: ICT enhancing the concrete embodied experiences of the First World, and
(b) supermodern 'mobility': being mobile in "Non-spaces" (Marc Augé), like public transport, the car, the Mall, the airport etc., where one really is being mobile within an abstract digital mediasphere ("the Web", but also immediate nearness via mobile phone). In this case the embodied 'primary' world is enhancing the abstract one, turning the notions of #primary' vs. 'secondary' upside down.
