This project was devised to study the progress of items sent through the post by Royal Mail.
A G.P.S. tracking device was used to monitor different aspects of a parcels journey around the UK. The tracker recorded time, speed and the co-ordinates of each journey and these were interpreted by Goggle Earth. The designer visited all the locations mapped on the journey and ‘light/time’ boxes were photographed at each location in real time to record the visit.
The study went on to embrace different aspects of the postal service from the point of view of the package in transit. This included sorting, delivery by the postman, through the letterbox and the sound accompanying the passage of the package.
