Noriyuki Fujimura: Footprint Mapping


"Footprint mapping“ was an attempt to create a digital map of streets and public spaces by gathering "footprints" of participants of the project.
The aim of the artwork was to figure out how they could implement the concept of a “Psychogeographical map" with modern technology.
He created a mapping system consisting of cheap pedometer, digital compass, micro processor, web cam, and laptop computer. All of which were put in one backpack for someone to carry around.
At the end of each day a digital collage was put together of every participants footprint map.
