Marker Map, 18th June 2014, Ulster Museum 11.00 am -12.30 pm (a Mapping Alternative Ulster event with Garrett Carr)

This was a walk to produce a live map on a 1:1 scale, of the walk, on the walk by all the participants! We negotiated a route together then left small visual markers at intervals, like a trail, which an be followed by others. These mapped out a route as we went 

The route take the form of a geometric abstract cross shape agreed by all participants in advance of the walk. We set ourselves a near impossible mission and tried to draw this shape through walking, talking and tagging but were diverted down alleys and through service yards in our attempt to stick to straight lines. Our walk was so convoluted in our attempt to stick to a geometric route that it transpired to be actually unmappable!

This walk was an event as part of the exhibition Mapping Alternative Ulster curated by Garrett Carr http://www.mappingalternativeulster.net
