Hows the EMP coming along nat?

This is where asked myself and my EMP is progressing. I have found so far that my project  is moving slowly. I have been making loads of small experiments all of which are pretty mates  mismatched. they are all aimed at the idea of travelling, I want to experiment with different ways people have experimented with visulising travelling. 

I have looked at all kinds of maps and what they are mapping. I never knew the lengths of what people can, you can map almost anything! 

I have been looking at travel books, a way travellers keep a diary of there exploration. Keeping notes, photo's, tickets .. at every memorable turning. 

I have been looking at Hiking, by arranging my own I Hike with a few friends, I was able to map our journey. I took note of the route, gave them all a booklet to record there exploration of how they felt. 

I have been mapping a few everyday activties based on my life. Including how much i move about in my room over 12 hours, how long it takes me to get to uni and counting how many steps. I have observed my class at uni and recorded there seating plan, that has not changed ove the last 3years. 

 

My next steps :

I want to buy my own map

I will organise another HIke but with an older age of people

I will buy a selection of materiels to exeperiment with how texture can link to emotion

I will make a map from the information from the previous Hike
