  GPS Erasure (The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea), 2006

Thorsten Knaub will create a data animation by collating latitude and longitude coordinates via GPS technology. Using a portable GPS receiver he will record his own journeys through Kensington & Chelsea's geographical borders during the exhibition. The resulting patterns of movement will be added to daily and regularly updated through the Internet.

This procedural mapping initially makes visible the Borough's nexus of streets, paths and squares, only to then progressively obliterate the individual journeys as they merge with one another and ultimately fragments and questions the Borough's geographical border and shape.
