The art of GPS

4626982530_4d349ba0dcNavigation is an art in itself, but in the case of artist Jeremy Wood it’s doubly true. Over the past decade, this self-declared ‘GPS artist’ has pioneered the act of drawing and mapping with satellite navigation technology – by treating himself as a moving pencil!

By compiling his everyday journeys onto maps, he has created a series of personal cartographies that reveals a unique and detailed interaction with space and time. After making the world’s biggest drawing of a pentagram by taking and tracking five airline flights over Europe, Jeremy has switched focus to the microcosm that is his back garden… tracing his travels on a lawn mower for his most recent exhibition at London’s Tenderpixel Gallery.

To coincide with the show, Woods will be giving a brief presentation on his current practice and other GPS projects. The talk will start at 6pm on the 19th, and space is limited so please RSVP to mail@tenderpixel.com by June 10th. For more, visit http://www.tenderpixel.com
