GPS Camera
Inspired by the route maps that many of us keep after a journey marked with places that we visited along the way, GPS Camera aims to develop this practice, taking it to the to the scale of the dots on the map – a city wide scale.
This camera is configured for specific destinations, and comes with a map of the destination city, a tangible mnemonic with which you can chart your progress. Upon arrival, you are allowed to take one photograph in each grid square on the map. Once a photo is taken the camera shuts down until you move on to a new section of the map. This playful approach to travel photography encourages you to explore the city as a whole rather than repeatedly photographing the same thing over and over again. The camera becomes the tour guide.
Later, the photos are transferred onto a digital map of the city according to their corresponding grid references to make a memory map, and highlight the areas of the city which were seen and those which remained unexplored. This map then becomes a part of a larger scale route-map to give a more complete spacial and memorial digital record of the journey.
