The HMC is looking for people to take part in creating a large scale social interactive art work.
Running Stitch, a large 8ft x 8ft tapestry map of Dundee, will be created live during the exhibition Signals in the City.
Artists Jen Southern, Jen Hamilton, Chris St Amand along with Onteca Ltd, a Liverpool games company, have developed Landlines, software which enables an audience to use GPS mobile phones as a drawing tool.
Visitors are invited to journey through Dundee whilst their movements are tracked via satellite and projected live back to the gallery. These individual GPS drawings of visitors’ journeys are then stitched onto the evolving tapestry revealing hidden aspects of the city, creating a sense of place and interconnection.
The artists are looking for 'stitchers' & 'urban ramblers' to work with and help create this map of Dundee. Visit the gallery to pick your GPS mobile phone and embark on your journey through the streets of Dundee. Take your favourite walk, track your day to day journey, go somewhere you’ve never been before - explore! Upon your return to the gallery see your travels mapped out on the tapestry and watch as the city of Dundee emerges from the canvas.
