GPS Drawing
I googled GPS drawing just to see what would come up in the search and was interested by this website. http://www.gpsdrawing.com/ Here you can learn to draw or make art by using GPS images. there is a peice right on the front page from Isambard School (which is another name for Isambard Kingdom Brunel University…the school I will be going to to study Design if I get accepted into the study abroad program.)
Taken from the site:
This exhibition includes maps made to inform or to entertain, maps enhanced by imaginative embellishments, maps that show imaginary places, and works in which artists have adapted map iconography to express their ideas and experiences of place.
What an interesting concept. Some of the images they are using seem to be REALLY close up and from different angles than we can get on google earth. I wonder how this all works.
It’s interesting to have the real world physical representation of people standing along the GPS drawn line that is on the Isambard page. It is a way of connecting the digital with the physical.
