Artist and digital cartographer Simon Faithfull has spent the last ten years experimenting with digital technology. Documenting his daily journeys and amassing hundreds of drawings using a Palm Pilot or iPhone, we can now tap into his vast resource of work with the recently launched app Limbo.
Limbo collates and distributes Faithfull’s work, created over the last decade. These drawings represent the artist’s wanderings across the surface of the planet from Antarctica to East London and beyond. Users are also granted instant access to new digital drawings, that through push notifications are added to the App from the moment of conception. This creates an ever-expanding catalogue of electronic readings, recording his presence in each place, combined with observational drawings of what he saw in each location. Acting as an incredible insight into the life and times of Faithful, Limbo exists as a kind of personal Atlas where the digital and physical collide. Interested in keeping up with his comings and goings? The App is free to the first 150 users who download it.
Get the App here to and feel inspired to travel, observe and create. Don’t have an iPhone? Follow Faithfull’s journey on his Twitter and Facebook.
