Dropsketch installation

Abstract

Dropsketch is a Smartphone drawing system that enables users to anonymously create and share simple black and white sketches of their surroundings. The free app, available for iPhone and Android devices, contains an easy-to-use sketching tool and the facility to 'drop' completed sketches on a shared map. It makes use of the Smartphone's built in positioning system to identify the location of the sketch. The app is used to drive the Dropsketch installation that allows participants to interactively explore the ever-growing database of incoming sketches.
