Depending on how you look at it

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.

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.

"The qualities of our journeys are as subtle as the strokes of a pencil. Our travels are textured as we squiggle on foot, dither at junctions, speed along motorways, and fly through air corridors.

For fifteen years I’ve recorded all my journeys with GPS to map where I have been and how I got there. It is a form of personal cartography that documents my life as a visual journal.

Our journeys are shaped by the rules of the landscape. We route along engineered solutions defined by paths and boundaries that tweak and tamper with our travels. At a time when it is getting harder to experience the feeling of being lost, perhaps we should try to stray from recommended routes" (Jeremy Wood, on his website).
