This GPS logger weighs 10 grams, most of which is battery. Custom-made by Telemetry Solutions of Concord, California, it’s small enough to attach to a fruit bat for research purposes. Data can be downloaded directly from the chip upon recapture, or it can be downloaded wirelessly from up to 500 meters away.

“I was interested in visualizing not only where these runs were taking place, but also, at what time of day. I decided to create a timelapse video, displaying each individual route at the time of day it took place. Moreover, I elected to use a map of New York City, but rather, let the running data generate a map of New York City as the runners move throughout the city. Paths, streets, and bridges all start to emerge as the day goes on and more runners move through the city.”
Cooper Smith made a visualisation of 1,000 Nike+ runs in New York City.

Traverse Me by Jeremy Wood is the University of Warwick campus drawn on foot at 1:1 scale with 238 miles of GPS tracks walked over 17 days.
“My shoes turned brown in the dry fields and they turned green in the long grass. The compass rose and the globe were paced out over cricket pitches, and the scale was measured along a narrow tractor rut. I collided with objects and buildings, barriers and footpaths, and traipsed over the tops of multi-story car parks. Security was called on me twice on separate occasions and I lost count of how many times I happened to trigger an automatic sliding door.”
1:5 000 Scale 20”x30” Limited Edition Prints are available for £95.

Ride Society by Anders Højmose is a mobile-based toolset designed for freeskiers – people skiing in snowparks and the backcountry. Besides being a mobile application, Ride Society consists of a series of outerwear to support the mobile experience and an online community. Together these parts create a small ecosystem. Freeskiing is all about having fun and enjoying the mountains – one of the main goals in this project was to build on that.
