MARK IT is an App-based participatory project that invites New Yorkers to join a communal art-making experience where, using their movements in New York 5 boroughs, they creates all together a virtual drawing at the scale of the city.
Participants download the app on their smartphone and allow themselves to be located in space. Their movements are continuously plotted on a virtual map of the city. This map is not visible. Instead, the various lines are drawn across a white canvas, forming an evolving, organic matrix of lines over lines. Participants can choose the color, width and transparency of the line that represents their movements.
The drawing in the making will be visible to the public in real-time on the project website and at the end of the project, each participant will receive a numbered edition of the final drawing as co-creator.
