The Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile red-brick walking trail that leads you to 16 nationally significant historic sites, every one an authentic American treasure.

The aim was to give students the opportunity to think the relationship between technology and the urban environment, and tangibly engage it.

Students are to produce an ethNOMOgraphy (an ethnogrpahy on the move, adapted to the world of mobility) of the Freedom Trail by taking pictures, interviewing users, and research the history of the Freedom Trail so to find important moments in time and space.

The students will examine the Trail, map it, find a realestate for the 2D code, examine reactions, propose a design involving POP(s), People, Objects and Places altogether.

The project was part of a seminar class called “Digital and Mobilities” at Wentworth Institute of Technology, Boston. The team was directed by Yasmine Abbas.
