Serendipitor is an alternative navigation app that helps you find something by looking for something else. Enter an origin and a destination, and the app maps a route between the two. You can increase or decrease the complexity of this route, depending how much time you have to play with. As you navigate your route, suggestions for possible actions to take at a given location appear within step-by-step directions designed to increase the likelihood that, in the end, you will have encounters you could never have pre-planned. You can take photos along the way and, upon reaching your destination, send an email sharing with friends your route and the steps you took.

Serendipitor was developed at V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media as part of a joint artist residency with Eyebeam Art+Technology Center.

Serendipitor is part of the Sentient City Survival Kit, a project of Creative Capital.
