As part of Alberta Arts Days we invite Albertans to discovering a behind-the-scenes look at the ART mobile Lab by coming along to the open house at the Banff Centre and to gain first hand experiencing using guided GPS walking tours around Banff.
Open house: The open house will have members of the public dropping by to take a behind the scenes look at our growing research program. Guests will see how the BNMI’s research into mobile media extends from the lab to the streets of Banff to the great outdoors.
GPS Walking tours
Voices in the Forest: Created by artist Julie Meyers, this is an audio tour of the Hoodoo’s trail situated close to the Banff Centre. The tour invites you to experience the riverside woods from a child’s point of view. A combination of fact and fiction, these stories were collected and scripted with help from the kindergarten children at Banff Elementary School.
The Banff Mobile History Tour: A locative audio tour of the colourful history of downtown Banff, fresh from the imaginations of Grade 7 Social students from Banff Community High School.
