<h1>Unravelling knots</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>The map I've been making by tracking myself over GPS does not display scale, or landmarks, or street names. It doesn't show which way is north, south, east or west.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When zoomed out, the line appears to be curved, jagged, definitely not straight. However, when zooming in there are many straight lines, and they only bend at anchor points where each snapshot is taken. The line becomes knotted at places, representing social interactions, financial transactions, backtracking, and places where the GPS signal was obscured, or confused by bouncing off buildings.</p>

<p>In a vector program I begin to simplify the file, sliding a scale that removes anchor points and unravels the knot.</p>
