1:1000 scale model panorama 1806 x 231 (49k)
In the centre of the room was the cardborad Model White
Horse Hill
It was constructed specifically for this exhibition.
We displayed a variety of local GPS drawings along with various small doodles
made on foot.
We also premiered the World's Biggest 'IF':
an 863 km (537 mile) journey from Iffley in Oxford then past Ifield towards
Iford and then through Ifold.
Sprawling map
To demonstrate the processes of GPS drawing we mapped our local journeys
over the course of the show.
We constructed and updated a sprawling GPS map that charted our movements around
the city.
The piece hung on a wall and was composed from about 70 computer prints that
were all tiled and fixed together.
Algorithmic walking 21/09/02
We also conducted an algorithmic walk and recorded the results with three GPS
receivers.
All setting off in different directions, we followed and repeated simple instructions
e.g. [-1st Right -then- 2nd Left -then- 2nd Right -repeat-]
The session lasted for about 2 hours, the X
