Leytonstone :: Traces
John Wild has collected the GSM location data created by his own mobile phone whilst taking a walk radiating out from the Old Leytonstone Woolworths building.
The data was solidified into a series of 7 small metal plaques, and embedded back into the physical environment at their corresponding locations.
Maps indicating the location of the plaques can be obtained and taken away from an installation within the Woolworths store.
