City as a Canvas- a hindsight perspective

So back to The City as a Canvas…The concept for this work is a development of a project I'm collaborating with Mike Blackman on for our Distributed South Residency, where we are building a prototype to collect data and mapping of people using office spaces (an extension of my Office Investigation work). City as a Canvas was a participatory event, where 5 teams of cyclists where recruited, including Portsmouth Cycle Forum, Portsmouth Tri athletes, community groups supported by police PCSO"S and members of the public. We preplanned routes to create the drawings and worked with cycle officers to denote routes that were suitable for different levels of cycling ability. The trials, risk assessments and securing the corporate insurance was an experience, but ultimately successful.
