From a piece in The Awl...
Do you consider this all art? Or is there another word you'd use?
Other people have used the phrase "GPS art," but I've started calling it "Virtual Geoglyphic Adventure." It's “virtual” since there's nothing left behind. “Geoglyphic” because—you know what geoglyphs are, like the Nazca Lines. So, it's like a virtual geoglyph. And then it’s “adventure” because when I'm doing these things I really don't know what I'm gonna see out there. Baltimore is happening no matter what.

Fascinating. There's much more at the link, including how Wally actually does the drawings, how he got into it, and a few more geoglyphs.
Bicycle art! I like it. I'm not sure I would want that sort of art hanging on my walls. I probably would not go to a museum to see such art - so is it really art. I dunno.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's art. It's cool, but it ain't "art."
DeleteCyclists are like that.
ReplyDeleteLike what?
Like they think of really weird shit as fun ...or art.
I think it's they're kinda like addicts or alcoholics. Ya know, self-destructive, unless they get help.
On top o' that, it's Balmer (how they say it there)
DeleteI guess it must be art if the artist says so. Kinda like how some shithouse poets get their muse inspired by the smell of fecal matter.
