This paper explores the debates around locative art both past and present and sets them against models drawn from a broad range of cultural artefacts, examining the potential lessons for contemporary locative media art and interactive public art practice. Specifically examined are issues of architecture and ritual space, the spatialisation of narrative, and Aboriginal Australian, Amerindian, Celtic, Hindu and Christian sacred architectures and land relationships.

We introduce a basic model for zombie infection, determine equilibria and their stability, and illustrate the outcome with numerical solutions. We then refine the model to introduce a latent period of zombification, whereby humans are infected, but
not infectious, before becoming undead. We then modify the model to include the effects of possible quarantine or a cure. Finally, we examine the impact of regular, impulsive reductions in the number of zombies and derive conditions under which
eradication can occur. We show that only quick, aggressive attacks can stave off the doomsday scenario: the collapse of society as zombies overtake us all.
