THE GEOGRAPHIC OBSERVATORY


This is one of those things you stumble upon while looking in a site that you liked and then being curious about the links thinking, well good guys hang around together arent they?

What you are looking at is a line produced by a GPS traking device on a dog walking in various places and by disconnecting the enviourment and foucusing on the movment, the
GO say it alot better:

"The Canine Tracking Project uses GPS drawing as a means of questioning and understanding the environment that we inhabit with an altered set of priorities. GPS tracking allows us to follow the movement of a dog through the landscape. Movement, direction, speed, and tempo are recorded via satellite and the GPS unit. This altered perspective of the land, or environment, offers an abstract perspective to a cross-section of our current moment in time and our environment's current condition."

The geographic observatory are truly Geo-Graphic, visualizing environment and Eco issues using art and info graphics that makes that brick in my head move a bit, looking for its right place since it moved by this visuals.

You can also download free of charge a few of the GO's investigations.
