Beyond locative media

I found this article to be very insightful as to directing me towards what locative media actually is. Since this is my first encounter with locative media, and conceptual art in general, I thought this article contained many key ideas to both unfamiliar subjects. Two of the most important points of this article were the key differences between Net art and locative media, and the description the invisible and often imperceptible network that locative media is based in. These two points were important because they outlined both what locative media is and how it works.
One point that came to mind as I read the article concerned the complaints concerning boundaries, since the most (if not all) locative media pieces are based in the cartesian coordinate system many critics argue against the legitmacy of locative meida as an art, stating that "art as autonomous from the circuits of mass communication technologies". Critics also argue that locative meida does nothing more than create a "hyper-rationalist grid of Imperial infrastructure.", however I feel that these ideas, as the article also stated, are incorrect. I feel that with the onset of mass communication and networking sparked by locative meida, it will shift the control of such systems from the larger power structure to the general populus. Locative media is less of a cage and more of a means to deeper understand human connections and expierences across geographic boundries both natural and man-made.
