Janice Jensen's "walkingwhiledrawing" project explores the subjective perception of moving through the environment. Using a drawing machine, she records her movements while walking to create linear documentation and virtual landscapes in VR. The ongoing project has been displayed in various exhibitions and is set to expand with new landscapes and multimedia elements.
