CyberArts 2005 Milkproject Ieva Auzina, Esther Polak, RIXC - Riga Center for New Media Culture (LV)
This is an artistic mapping project in which GPS satellite navigation technology is used to produce a cartographic representation of milk shipments from Latvian dairy farmers to customers half way across Europe. Thus, a commercial product serves as the narrative thread tying together different regions. The digital map produced in this way becomes a portrait of the histories and ways of life of the people involved in this logistical chain and provides a picture of economic relations within the EU.
