The Media Centre - London, Summer Programme 2004
Land Marks: Huddersfield, is a one day event at The Media Centre to launch three new media art projects based in Huddersfield which emerge from the town’s landscape, history and collective memory. Wireless and mobile technologies are employed by artists and poets to trace and document memory and experience, exploring ways that our knowledge of streets and buildings are inseparable from our personal memories.
+ This is a free public event so everyone is welcome to come along, meet the artists, and get involved.

GPS Photo Linking
by David Goldwasser, contributor to Digital Photography Hacks
06/15/2004
Do you ever look back through your vacation photos and wonder where all of the photos were taken? What if there was a way to have all those images automatically show up as pins on a map or an aerial photograph? It may seem too good to be true, but it can be done. No mirrors or smoke; it's just making use of existing GPS technology.
As you are out recording pictures, your GPS receiver is busy making a digital popcorn trail of your movements. Then when you're back on the computer, a topo map or aerial photograph is pulled from a terraserver on the Internet, and your shots show up on the map as clickable links to your photographs.
In this article I'll provide you with a brief introduction to this fun endeavor to help you get your bearings ... so to speak.
Potential Projects for GPS Photo Linking
I first researched this as a tool for an extensive neighborhood study, but what other uses are there? Well, you could just have fun on a road trip having a passenger shoot photos of roadside attractions. Real estate agents or prospective homeowners could take photos of houses. A scientist studying a particular animal or vegetation could track the locations using this method. Comparing results of previous trips they could study movement or growth of a species. For us nonscientists it could still be a fun way to document hikes or nature walks.
