indeterminate hikes+
ecoarttech's wilderness-actualizing app

IH+ is a mobile app that transforms everyday landscapes into sites of bio-cultural diversity and wild happenings. Generally devices of rapid communication and consumerism, smartphones are re-appropriated by IH+ as tools of environmental imagination and meditative wonder, renewing awareness of intertwining biological, cultural, and media ecologies and slowing us down at the same time. The app works by importing the rhetoric of wilderness into virtually any place accessible by Google Maps and encouraging its users to treat these locales as spaces worthy of the attention accorded to sublime landscapes, such as canyons and gorges.

indeterminate hikes android market download

Apple iOS version now in development! Release date: June 2012.

IH+ can be experienced in two ways:
(1) as a participatory public event led by ecoarttech-guides along with a basecamp installation (e.g. at festivals/exhibitions)
(2) as a self-guided excursion taken by a hiker equipped with an IH+-enabled smartphone.
