Abstract: By the end of the last century, the cultural impact of the first mobile devices and ubiquitous computing led to the expansion of a specific media ecology marked by a hybrid condition, where the body's performativity presented itself as an unprecedented approach to the cyber world. There are many actors involved: companies, service platforms, governments, hacker communities, and last but not least, artists who (as often has been the case in the history of New Media Art) underpin technical shifts, finding an exceptionally active role in the establishment of terminology and the shaping of the aesthetic-technological landscape. From this comes an interesting interdependency with the mobile business and telecommunication companies, which in turn are looking for imaginative paths to establish themselves in the just emerging field of handheld applications. A productive exercise in which the video game industry will also claim its own identity, amidst totally artistic figurations or more horizontal collective explorations, where augmented reality, network systems, and technologically advanced psychogeographic memories enter the commercial domain and then flow back into creativity.
