Here's the work I've made as part of the Exeter Phoenix Digital Art Commission 2012 in collaboration with the Centre for Additive Layer Manufacturing (CALM) at Exeter University. It's a three-dimensional representation of a 30-minute glider flight made in Devon in 2011. GPS readings of altitude, latitude and longitude taken during the flight were transcribed into a digital model, from which a 3D scale-model has been fabricated. Pilot/GPS: Rowan Smith. Technical support: Tim King. Thanks to Ben Gibbard.

An exhibition of the work made by me and a number of other South West artists during this commission will be on show at Exeter Phoenix from Friday 16 November 2012 - Sat 19 January 2013.
