Baglady 2.0 by Nancy Mauro-Flude

Baglady 2.0 is a performance with a customized electronic performance tool, a bag that is embedded with a platform for broadcasting sound, digital images [video] and text. This Data is mapped via GPS to the place where collection takes place. You can see the recent activities of the bag.

In a recent article in Artforum, "Domesticity at War: Beatriz Colomina and Homi K Bhabha in Conversation" (Summer 2007, pp. 442-447), Colomina and Bhabha explore how the mediations of public and private in the context of war are domesticated and inform developments in fashion, design and architecture.

The Baglady is a hunter-gatherer of ephemeral moments. She carries a bag with an antenna, and embedded board that catptures these and transmits this to a server.

Thanks Nancy

There are various bag projects ranging from Diana Eng's Blogging in Motion (2006-07) to Fashion victims that was exhibited at e-culturefair in Amsterdam in 2003.
