MAPPING OF THE INVISIBLE ENVIORMENT
Idea
For my project I want to collect the invisible elements (data) that shape the natural atmosphere on my walks and visualize them artistically. An alternative map is created, which is not used for orientation. It is a reproduction of brief moments that will most likely not come up again in this way.
On the route, light, air quality, temperature and the walkers pulse are measured every minute using an Arduino and sensors. These are stored via an SD card and read out with a code. The time and route are stored using a tracking app.The data determines the parameters of the subsequent image design. For transport, a "rack" is built that attaches the breadboard to the body. After each walk the collected data will be transscripted and painted with onto a map that shows the walked area. In order to associate the data to the correct point of the line the pace througout the walk has to be steady.
- Time/Duration= Size of the canvas
- Route= Shape of the line
- Temperature= Color of the line
- Light= Height of the line
- Air quality= Saturation of the color
- Pulse= Thickness of the line

Breadboard
Rack / Helmet
Data Arduino / SD-Card
The first minute is not taken into account as the gas sensor needs about 30 seconds to be ready. In the meantime, the helmet is also put on and the route tracking is started.
Data Phone
In order to track the route the app "Runkeeper" is used. To keep a steady pace a recorded metronome on Spotify is beeing played via headphones. Additionally the data for the average step-length from the "Health-App" is taken into calculation.

Guide
Determinations
- Never stop walking -j ust walk in a different direction
- Always take 100 steps a minute and take care that they are the same length
- Return to startingpoint
- Don´t walk on Mondays - Corona Demonstrations
- Don´t walk in storms
- Remember that time determines size - maps are maybe not available

Future
I would like to keep the concept of visualising my walks in the future. However, I would like to design the presentation digitally (Processing/Unity) and work with live data. Which sensors and which parameters I will use for the visualisation will remain flexible.
Thoughts while working
. Keywords/Inspiration
- Determination-Indetermination
- Thoughts by Nam June Paik
- What is the information shown in commercial maps and to what extent can they be political?
- History of Mapping-Alternative/Artistic mapping
- Strollology
- Correlation -Interpretation of Data
- Context/ Asssociation of Color
- Work of Tobias Zimmer - Identical Walk
Sketches
Additional
The place and the area of the walked route are indicated. Depending on what dominates the walk, a text (internal state) or a photo (external state) is attached. Also, an attempt is made to put this state in context with the collected data
