repeated random instructions which provides an exciting and unusual way of
exploring a town.
Participants may wish to use a bicycle or a car, as long as care is taken
not to be distracted by the receiver.

BIOS
Bruce Pennycook
Professor Bruce Pennycook (Doctor of Musical Arts, Stanford, '78) is a
composer, new media developer and media technology specialist. He taught
at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario then McGill University in
Montreal, Quebec where he developed undergraduate and graduate degree
programs in Music Technology and held the position of Vice-Principal for
Information Systems and Technology. Pennycook moved to Austin in 2002 and
was appointed Senior Lecturer at UT Austin in 2004. He teaches in the
Department of Composition, School of Music and in the
Radio-Television-Film Department, College of Communication.
Hugh Pryor
âHugh Pryor is part of a new breed of artists crisscrossing the planet,
creating artwork on a par with the ancient Nazca line drawings of Peru.â
Wired Magazine
In the year 2000 Hugh Pryor inadvertently turned the world into a
giantcanvas after he drove in the shape of a 13-mile wide fish and
recorded the journey with a GPS receiver. The New York Times says â
âAs if they were skywriting on the ground, the artists trace a route
for, say, a gigantic elephant over the streets of Brighton. Mr. Pryor
described their role as tool as well as artist. 'Using your position,
you're the tip of the pen,' he said. They carry a hand-held receiver that
calculates where they are and limns their movements on its tiny screen.
Mr. Pryor has written a program that converts the raw logistical data,
which can span miles, into a smaller digital image that can be shown on a
screen-size canvas -- a Web site at www.gpsdrawing.com.â An fun and
exciting blend of technology, visual art and performance art, Mr.
Pryorâs programming has been utilized to create drawings by people of
all professions and backgrounds.
Hugh Pryor studied GPS and maps at the Royal School of Military Survey,
and Animation at Farnham where he developed a keen interest in programming
for exploring the aesthetics of scientific and natural phenomena to create
innovative digital art.
Jeremy Wood
Born in San Francisco and raised in Berlin and Oxfordshire, Jeremy Wood
now lives and works in London. He established the GPS Drawing project in
2000 to investigate physical mark-making with satellite navigation
technology. He tracks his daily journeys to investigate personal
cartography in the form of sculpture, video and print.
He studied Fine Art at Saint Martin's in London and has shown works
internationally in numerous solo and selected group exhibitions including
at the Microwave International Media Art Festival (2002), Brooklyn Museum
of Art (2004), and the Sonar Festival (2005&6). His works are included in
museums, and in private and corporate collections, amongst them the
University of the Arts and the V&A Museum. <http://www.gpsdrawing.com/>
