The Pervasive and Locative Arts Network (PLAN) is an international and 
interdisciplinary research network funded as part of the Engineering

interdisciplinary understanding and building consortia for future 
collaborative projects.

# Aims of the PLAN Exhibition

The PLAN Exhibition will showcase new concepts in pervasive and 
locative media, with a focus on large scale public experiences that 
communicate the possibilities and research challenges to a broad 
audience. The exhibition will form part of an art festival, but is 
anticipated to include social, political and scientific projects as 
well as projects where the aims are primarily aesthetic or about 
audience participation. Further details on the scope and focus of the 
exhibition will be available after the PLAN Technology Workshop during 
October.
