OH SHIT, NOT ANOTHER GEEK
OH SHIT, NOT ANOTHER GEEK
FORM OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSION
From the nerds who brought you the glorified hide-and-go-seek game of "geocaching" (Did you miss that trend? So did everyone else.), comes GPS Drawing.
I'd like to explain it in easy-to-understand terms. I'll let the geeks speak for themselves:
What is GPS Drawing?
Large-scale digital mark making using GPS satellite navigation technology. In essence GPS Drawing is about recording lines using ones journey as a mark making medium. The GPS receiver automatically records your journey like a geodesic pencil. A GPS receiver is a navigational aid that reads timed signals from a network of more than 24 swarming satellites to calculate a position on earth.
Why do I detect the odor of a glorification of technology that was doing just fine functioning with a purpose on its own?
