Tactical Sound Garden [TSG] Toolkit

Mark Shepard is an artist and architect whose cross-disciplinary practice draws on architecture, film, and new media in addressing new social spaces and signifying structures of emergent digital cultures. His current project, the Tactical Sound Garden [TSG] Toolkit, addresses the impact of mobile technologies and wireless networks on architecture and urbanism, and will be published by Princeton Architectural Press in the forthcoming issue of 306090 – 09: Regarding Public Space. In 1998 he founded dotsperinch - a collaborative network of artists, architects, technologists, and programmers developing new media environments for the arts, museum, design, and education communities. Projects with dotsperinch include SonicMemorial.org - an open archive and networked participatory audio experience documenting the 30-year history of the World Trade Center, developed in collaboration with Picture Projects and NPR. SonicMemorial.org was the recipient of the first Peabody Award for New Media in 2003.
