The development of mobile and location-based technologies intensifies media use in public space. Media theorist Eric Kluitenberg emphasizes this emerging trend, as he notes that the city becomes an intensified mediatized space where the modus operandi is carried out almost without thinking. The aim of this article is to show, with the use of location-based audio walks as case studies, how this intensive hybridization of space on the contrary is able to provide new possibilities to engage with space. The power of location-based audio walks is its aesthetic and poetic potential of layering new information over a physical space, while revealing the stories, memories and history of specific physical locations. In doing so, these audio walks can be seen as a poetic act: they draw together human involvement and invite engagement with reality to such an extent that it enters consciousness and it re-imagines space poetically.
