Slide 4: Geotagging or Geocoding or Locative Tagging Geographical identification metadata (as latitude and longitude coordinates, altitude, bearing, place names, zip codes) tagging texts, images, video, multimedia contents delievered through websites, RSS feeds or whatever.

Slide 5: Narrative Tags Engraved epigraphies, boards, panels, podcasts, geotagged media delievered on locative portable devices providing exposition about environmental features as rocks, forests, paths, buildings. By conveying informations about events related to a given place, such markers interfere with actual perception of natural or urban landscapes.

Slide 6: Ecological approach to storytelling processing of narrative references relies on resonance and mirror matching, conveying embodiment of corresponding sensory experiences, related interoceptive responses and consequent actions.
