Using anything from multi media to pieces of string, devise a way of communicationg your position. location to an observer. Consider existing forms of location definition, maps, words, diagrams, charts, performance. GPS ( satellite positioning), lay lines, astronomical views of celestial objects, dance diagrams, the humble “you are here” map sticker, A-Z etc. Mixing or evolving a hybrid of two or more existing locaters, possible forms of interaction by the viewer / observer.

To try to unerstand the logic behind mapmaking and wat type of information is used to display on a map- I asked a friend of mine to describe how to get to his house using well known landmarks. After i tried to visualize my understanding and meet my friend at his house without a call.
During this process i produced few directions for ideas that i would explore deeper in my research.
Instructions
Road signs
Graphs
During this experiment i “tracked� the route of 453 bus from Finchley road to Oxford circus. I used a pen and my hand to transfer the movement of bus onto the paper and visually depict the speed and conditions of the road.

Me map
During my research I realized that i am becoming more interested in maps as in traditional way of navigation.
Past
Present To step away from my map obsession i wanted to experiment with a more personal way of locating around my lifepast, present and maybe future.

After loads of idea failures i realized that the most interesting concept for me would be to pervert the existing undergroun system into something less important or maybe alter the information on map and that it only becomes usefull to a specific group of people.
Commuting in London is a huge part of everyone’s life in this city- it costs a lot and doesn’t work on weekends. It is about the time to find out how to dodge the overpriced ticket fees for the service that has disrupted so many lives. London’s first “bendy bus map” is in the process of creation...
Chaos
Order
After years of using London transport i realized that often there are options when one is short of cash. This is the first London’s bendy bus map V.1.0 More research is needed to compliment the empty grid with many more routes that are available.
