Stonehouse - GPS Drawing

Following on from our initial investigations into the hertzian space of Stonehouse this week we experimented with some GPS drawing similar to last years work (see beckyvidat106.blogspot.com).  This time however we were asked to use a set of rules to trace our drawing rather than planning the image before hand.  We used the centre of town for our location rather than the campus as this provided more opportunity for experimentation with this idea.  Our group initially began by trying to find a way of using light sources for our rules so that we could relate our findings to our general project of light and communication.  However we could not come up with any worthwhile rules that would have a very good effect for the drawing and so after some discussion deciced to use tall poles such as those of street lights, as well as using surveillance cameras as our way-points. We therefore produced the following GPS drawing with the results of these rules:

Although the rules we used did not link with our overall project, the concept of surveillance is quite interesting as it enables you to think about the spaces that are controlled and monitored and how this links to the concept of a digitally enhanced area.
