Meander Maps

Adele Prince is setting off in a random direction from Nottingham train station with an unknown destination to be dictated by the people she encounters along the way. Engaging with the latest GPS tracking technology, she will create a fully interactive Meander Map. Participants will be photographed and the pictures uploaded in real time onto a website where visitors can locate, track down and join in with the artist. Adele Prince has no fear of getting lost - in fact she relishes the possibility.


Background


Adele Prince has won international acclaim for her practice that combines endurance, observation and obsession and is exhibited using dynamic interactive media that explores unusual locations outside of the gallery. Websites are used to showcase and share her work and to generate feedback.

Key works are Trolley Spotting (2006) and the film Imperceptible (2005), which captures people as they inhabit their own space, taking time out from the busy city environment.
