Highlights
Ghost Walker
Ghost Walker: An Impossible Walk Through Mexico City's History explores a vanished street using historic maps and Google overlays. Inspired by dérive and Collective Actions techniques, the project traces 150 years of urban change, absence, and memory through a participatory artistic walk.
Walking Tools
Walking Tools is an open-source locative media project led by Brett Stalbaum at UCSD (2007–), developing shared GPS media standards and tools like HiperGps/HiperGeo to create, deploy, and share location-based narratives for education, art, and activism.
0º00 Navigation Part I: A Journey Across England
A lone figure follows the Greenwich Meridian across England, moving straight north regardless of obstacles, from sea to sea. The video treats the zero line of longitude as a literal path, exposing its artificial, historical origins.
Drift
Drift is a site-specific GPS-based sound installation exploring wandering, disorientation, and the limits of GPS. Visitors traverse a shifting 2 km² space of sand, sea, and interactive sounds, where footsteps, spoken word, and tides create a playful, unpredictable experience of place.
My Ghost
Jeremy Wood’s My Ghost maps fifteen years of his journeys via GPS, turning movement into personal cartography. Footpaths, motorways, and flights create textured visual records, exploring how travel, landscape rules, and straying from routes shape experience.
Walking pieces
GPS Series – 3 Months New York / Toronto
3 Months New York / Toronto is a two-minute video mapping the artist’s daily movements in both cities. Fading GPS traces reveal location patterns over time, using walking as a drawing tool. It is the first work in the ongoing *GPS Series*.
TRACE: A Remote Geography of the Mind
This project explores how we can create new geographies of the mind by collaboratively exploring our local environments slowly, at a very small scale, and by hand rather than on foot. Working together, artists Chris Kaczmarek and Deirdre Macleod each recorded, using Whatsapp, a sequence of concurrent haptic walks in which each artist draws attention
Struer Open Form Pavilion of Air / Struer Åben Form Pavillon af Luft
A floating roof of sound in Struer, GPS-triggered & accessed by headphones & Echoes app to playfully reframe public space as an essential community engagement. One of 15 in an international series drawing on Oskar & Zofia Hansen’s Open Form concept.
