Bio Mapping


Bio Mapping exhibition at Angel Row Gallery in Nottingham


Exhibitions

When the project is shown in an exhibition context, the project is always site specific with the data having being gathered in the local area around the gallery.

This data gathering can eaither be organised through an initial workshop or organised in such a way that the whole exhibition is fully participatory. For the Day-To-Day-Data touring exhibition training was organised for the gallery staff at each venue so that they could kit people out with the Bio Mapping devices and send people out for walks. New data was built up in this way for the whole duration of the exhibition.

Visualily in the space, people's Bio Mapping walks are projected onto a wall from a computer. The computer is running a custom built software that functions like a data-driven slideshow which continously zooms and pans through every participants walk and at intervals builds up a communal map of all the tracks.

In addition a portable DVD player with built in screen and headphone is available with a Bio Mapping documentary DVD to explain the project in more detail.
