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.

Rachael Clewlow’s Explorer (2011) visualizes her daily movements through the city using colour-coded tracks. Based on her “‘statistical diaries’,” it transforms walking patterns into abstract forms and colours, mapping mobility as art.

Rachael Clewlow’s Explorer (2011) “is a colour coded and abstract annotation of her daily routine,” in which her movements on different tracks are represented in different colours. Her map-based work “meticulously documents the ways in which she inhabits the city in which she lives: the routes she takes through it, the times and dates of her travels, and the methods by which (to paraphrase Warhol) she moves from A to B and back again.” Using what she calls “‘statistical diaries’” to log her walks, Clewlow transforms these notebooks into “the source material for Clewlow’s pictorial inventions,” translating “the patterns of her own mobility” into “abstract patterns of form and colour.” Explorer, presented alongside one of her notebooks, exemplifies this process as a vivid, abstract visualization of her daily movement.

driftsinging

Drawing with (vocal) sound in response to place while passing through place. Driftsinging borrows from the Situationist Drift, and Baudelaire’s flâneur. Driftsinging also relates to the process of ‘sounding,’ the sonic measuring of distance and depth that locates position in place and ‘echo location’, the examination of place through sonic reflection and refraction, resonance and echo.
