Constelaciones is a feminist collective of contemporary practices that works in the field of the locative media and their intersection with digital arts and social action. We promote an epistemic, experimental and transdisciplinary community mediating in the neighborhoods where renewal and gentrification plans reduce the public confluencing spaces. Our main goal is to spread the necessity of public places and their online and offline reappropriation. To this end we show the possibilities of locative media for connecting fragmented local environments.
