SMSBlogging: blog-on-the-street public art project

In this paper we describe the experimental set-up and execution of a public art project. The aim was to explore the use of SMSBlogging for the purpose of community building and creative self-expression. We also discuss the results from this experiment and show our findings from six blog-on-the-street art acts in Bangalore, India, that introduce SMSBlogging technology in an iterative design process.
