Public markup

Cable ties on a lamppost, Euston, London This research looks at the marking of public space by investigating the physical annotation of the city: stickering, graffiti and billboards. It attempts to find patterns in this marking practice by looking at visibility, techniques, process, location, content and audience. It proposes ways in which this marking can be used as a layer between the physical city, and digital spatial annotation.

Urban GPS experience

Using a GPS receiver in dense urban areas requires constant attention to avoid losing satellite signals. My photography is suffering because I am constantly trying to get satellites instead of looking.

Travelogue

Street chairs in TokyoI have been treating digital photography as a narrative medium taking sequences of photographs to suggest movement, place, stories, journeys and discovery. In the near future I hope to to link images back to places using a GPS receiver, to produce some semi-automated travelogues. There is a lot of research to be done around contextualised imagery, and about mapping in relation to photography.
