Earth Graffiti
This project called MERIDIANS inspired me. The artist carried a handheld GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver to trace his movements by recording his position regularly along the journey. And then represented these data on map. The image below is one of a series, which all together is a quote "It is not down in any map; true places never are." See more images and the project here.
So I got some inspirations from this project. The app/game what i'm thinking about is, one by physically going from one place to another and another, can pinpoint his path on map. He can see the drawing on earth map in real time, so that he can determine where he goes next. Maybe he also can set the color and weight of stroke. The purpose for the user/player is to generate some interesting drawing. After the drawing, he can send the picture to web, where people can share what they draw and the stories during that process.
Or one can send those pin points(not entire drawing) to someone, with which the other person by physically following the path can reveal the drawing, over any long period of time he wants. Maybe someone want to say "i love you" to a person, or someone draws a little cake for a person's birthday gift. People can be very creative and imaginative of what they draw and what they do with it, also having a lot of fun.
