abstract: In this paper we report on recent investigations  within an ongoing research
project, which aims at developing a better understanding of the urban landscape
augmented with  the  digital landscape in the heritage City of Bath.
Here we describe early findings from the deployment of a socialiasing digital
installation in various locations in the city. The aim is to create  a novel
urban experience that  triggers shared social encounters among friends,
observes or strangers. The installation is implemented in the form of a digital
urban ground , embeded  in the physical surrounding, which acts as a
non-traditional  interface and a facilitator  between people and people and
people and their surrounding environment .

In this paper we explore the relationship between the urban space and technology
driven encounters. We outline initial findings about how people move, congregate
and socialize around the digital ground and illustrate the impact of the spatial
and syntactical properties on the type of shared interactions in a city context.
Finally we discuss  initial results and mention briefly our on going work.
