I found this project interesting where the artist, Steve Coast using GPS to track the
the movement of the city. It is not a traditional map but is a map that so real where
the routes are crossing and passing by the people in the city where everyone just like
appear inside the poster. Each black line represents the unique journey of different
people with different stories. Different people do things differently at the same time.

About this project
is an interpretation about time so that the dimension has a curious physical quantity. It includes
iPad esque screens that require visitors to manually rewind each display to start an animation
that show minutes passing.Each display has its own unique rewinding mechanism, forcing users
to touch the clocks and thus be connected to time in a more intimate sense.

Here a video about the project:
From point of view of about this project, it brings out the issue how time has become
pervasive and unconscious since the digital revolution.In now digital world, everyone
is clicking on their tab, phone, but they never realize that time is passing fast. Time is
more abstract concept but in this project is appeared more on physical.Rewind take
on hours, minutes and second is a refreshing chance to reconsider how we
utilize our day meaningfully.
