Video by Lisa Woods for FRICKbits. Everyone has now been trained to look at maps, we used to hand-draw little diagrams for each other, and now we always see our travel path in perfect accurate scale. But, that’s not how we remember it. We don’t recall or reconstruct our physical travels in linear time or with accurate coordinates. It’s a good metaphor for art. After tracking my location for years now, we tend to travel the same places repeatedly, and occasionally venture outside our normal rhythms.
I anticipate a future when human data portraits are produced from personal data gathered invisibly as we move through the day. We are so close to gathering every possible morsel of data about us, imagine if you owned all of information about yourself reflected in the art around you. I’m optimistic that sensors and a mass of measurements present artistic patterns of self‐examination that will lure us into a future of data that is irresistible. If data is the way to know yourself, why are you running from it? This piece is a combined walking pattern from week 32 and week 51 of last year.

What happens when Kickstarter emails FRICKbits out as one of the 'Projects We Love'? You all made something possible that makes no sense in the regular world, a free iPhone app from artist Laurie Frick, take back your data and turn it into art...on your phone!
What happens when kickstarter puts you in 'projects we love'? http://bit.ly/FRICKbit_kickstarter ends tomorrow.
