We are currently running a series of experiments, led by designers, on the theme of the 'tag' and 'tagging the world'. Through design interventions we are exploring the concept of the tag, bring ideas from online Web2.0 classification, grafitti, RFID and electronic tagging, signage, badges, tattoos etc.

Branded Meeting Places
Ubiquitous technologies and the design of places for meaningful human encounter
UBIQr 1: Workshop 19-20 June 2007 details SOME NOTES
UBIQr 2: Workshop 8-9 May 2008 details
UBIQr 3: Workshop 16-17 October 2008 : Placemaking: Brands v. tags details OPEN INVITATION
Meetings are now less constrained to offices, shops and fixed points of service, and can take place in a range of environments, including branded places: coffee houses, transportation hubs, customised meeting places, and informal, locally-branded spaces. People are drawn to places that have particular meanings as loci of human encounter. Communications technologies are implicated in this move into the variegated brandscape.
We gather evidence for these assertions about the rise of branded meeting places, examine the suitability of branded spaces for human encounters (eg meetings amongst business associates, between service providers and clients), and develop strategies for improving the technologies that support them. In the process we will critically examine and analyse branded spaces, theories about their formation, and how they operate as loci of human encounter.
