NEAREST COSTCO, MONUMENT OR SATELLITE

A networked sculpture that explores how we form our sense of place in the contemporary environment. In practice, fourteen networked pointer sculptures are directed by a central control unit to accurately point out the nearest Costco, local monument, or individual orbiting GPS satellites.
