/Synchroni-cities/ is a simultaneous urban exploration quest playing 
with the idea of creating /multiplaces/ - sets of synonymous places that 
have the same definition: the same trail leads to them. The game takes 
place in the real world in cities across Europe and the internet. 
/Synchroni-cities/ is developed by AltArt (www.altart.org 
<http://www.altart.org/>) and is part of the /Multiplace Festival/ 
(www.multiplace.sk <http://www.multiplace.sk/>).

To enter the project as explorer you need to register, download the 
trails and follow the route in your city. Flag the turning points and 
document your journey. Upload your images and texts to the project 
website and let the online community rate your /multiplace/. You could 
win a piece of reality, other than yours... 

*/Synchroni-cities/**. /The concept/*/
A trail can lead to many places. Places a given trail leads to define a 
multiplace/
//

We generally assume maps guide us from where ever we are to where we 
want to go. When using a map we repeatedly match the map's clues 
(corners, street names, etc) against reality and the road to our 
destination is a trail of clues we successfully matched against points 
of reality. If we don't know our destination, the map (the clue set) and 
the process of using the map (the matching process) validate the place 
at the end of our journey and make us recognize it as the point we 
wanted to get to. We define such a place as "the place our trail leads 
us to." This definition is as valid as our judgement, our clues and our 
reality. If any of these conditions are offset we wind up in different 
places every time we use the same map. Then we have a set of places that 
are synonymous, because they have the same definition: the same trail 
leads us to them. We call such a set of places a multiplace. Our aim is 
to document the trails and places defining a multiplace. Different 
places that make up a multiplace speak about us - the ones who declared 
these places synonymous in the first place.
