b r i e f : Running Stitch uses drawing to explore the social and cultural aesthetics of mobility in Brighton. We will use our real-time GPS drawing tool "Landlines" to work with groups of people living and working in Brighton. We propose to make GPS drawings of their journeys, which will then be projected in near to real time back in the gallery space.When we think of a city we often think of geographical and architectural features as landmarks. But a city is a living, moving entity, the sum of all of its inhabitants.

As we move around the city, threading our way between buildings, in and out of traffic, dodging people on busy sidewalks, we create a living city and bring it into being.Access and ability to travel is something we've come to see as a basic right, a feature of our lives. However, mobility is very clearly influenced by conditions such as language, age, health, gender, affluence, and nationality.The city is full of perceived boundaries, not just physical obstructions, but places we would rather not go, or a lightening of step when we pass from one area to another. The shopping district is very different from the beach, and of the suburbs. These changes are social as they are physical. The city is a living, moving entity, the sum of all its inhabitants, as well as its geography and architecture.
