An increasing number of artistic, playful and fictional devices are 
based on the mobility of people and their interactions through digital 
interfaces. In this context, the notions of situated media and shared 
mobility are two fundamental determinations that are complementary. It 
is proposed to define "shared mobility" in its contemporary meaning as 
different forms of combined physical and / or virtual displacements 
between several persons in a continuous or discontinuous space. In 
"situated medias", multimedia or hypermedia information is incorporated 
and integrated into the subject's environment. In this context, the 
participants are successively or simultaneously receivers and 
transmitters of information that acquires its meaning according to the 
place where it is produced.

On the basis of this context involving situated media and shared 
mobility in collaborative and/or artistic practices, we shall consider 
different questions: How to define and better identify situated media 
and shared mobility? How are shared mobilities enabled and activated by 
situated medias? How did certain artistic practices come to dominate 
situated media interventions that incorporate shared mobile 
components? Several regimes and levels can be identified. /Situated 
media/: 1) visual, audio, autonomous or combined forms, 2) physical, 
virtual and fictional forms, 3) tools, applications, contexts, tracking. 
/Shared mobility/: 1) contributing, participative and collaborative 
forms, 2) activation, spacialization, hybridization, play. We will 
analyze different examples of collaborative, playful and artistic 
practices that take advantage of these fundamental changes in our 
approach to culture and the media. The relationships between mental, 
instrumental and shared maps will also be considered as a set of 
questions linked to new entanglements and intricacies that underlie 
situated media and shared mobility.
