GPS Mapping

Some etchings I have been working on... testing out how to do it.

Current approach:

1.) Using custom built Java script Export GPS path data as 3d DXF.

2.) Take DXF into AutoCad. Set lineweights to etch.

3.) Plot on Acrylic with 50W laser cutter.

4.) Rub acrylic paint onto etched sheet.

5.) Mount multiple mappings in wooden frame, overlayed to show similar patterns.

6.) Remove blue-plastic scratch covering.

Had alot of difficulty with dado's on frame, and also scratchs on acrylic. Generally happy with result (which will be displayed at Open Eyes Toronto 2012 on August 9th).
