8 - Workspaces 2 Stonehouse & GPS

Here is my map of a GPS track through Stonehouse from the university. I decided to go for a wander one eve to where the Cremyl ferry leaves. I walked down the Dessolate Western approach, accross the bustling nightlife of Union Street and down the dark Cremyl Street. Trying my best to stick to areas with lighting in order for me to be able to see where i was walking. It only really got dingy when i left Union street to head towards Cremyl street where there were not as many if any street lights.

Its a similar situation at the back of C103 where we are planning on doing our projection. The street lights do not go down the ally so it ads that extra eerie eliment to it.

The next track is of what i like to call the Stonehouse sock. The idea of using GPS to create images is used by artist Jeremy Wood who created drawings on a map and set out to recreate them. Its is quite a clever idea it is much more successfull in large cities due to the large concentration of buildings and formatted street layouts.
