Jeremy Wood"Jeremy Wood is an artist and mapmaker. He introduced GPS drawing to investigate the expressive qualities of digitally tracing his daily movements. For over a decade he has been exploring GPS satellite technology as a tool for digital mark making on water, over land, and in the air. His work binds the arts and sciences by using languages of drawing and technology to present a personal cartography ( the science or practice of drawing maps). By revealing ones tracks the technology can introduce new approaches to travel, navigation and local awareness. GPS drawing and mapping engages a range of creative applications and challenges perceptions of scale by travelling as a geodetic pencil." what I find most fascinating about his work is his used of an innovative or non traditional drawing method to track his movement in order to create a personal map, Inspired by his work I tracked my movement around East London for about a week using googles maps/gps
