Ever heard of GPS art? I created a massive artwork in honour of next week’s AWS Summit EMEA. If you want to learn about cloud computing, AIML and more, you can register for free here: https://t.co/0m8Pf8uc51

And yes, I really did make the AWS logo! ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ https://t.co/mDFmDSpDfm https://t.co/75sKfoEg02


@MichelePlayfair Hilariously, when I sent around my first cut of the video (without saying “GPS art” first), half the people I showed it to had no idea wtf I was doing. They thought it was just, like, a training montage. ๐Ÿคฃ


For the curious, there doesn’t appear to be an app for automatically generating GPS art routes. I ended up just spending 45 min scrolling around Google Maps trying to fit it manually. So yeah, if somebody wants to solve that problem, that’d be awesome…


@vertis It’s one of things where once you’ve seen it, you can’t un-see it. It was driving me bonkers that some folks just couldn’t!


@vertis OH GOOD LORD yeah I’m glad we retired that one a few years back. That would’ve killed me. ๐Ÿ˜‚


@vertis That was my fallback. We live near the Theriesenwiese (the big showgrounds where they hold Oktoberfest), so I figured in a pinch I could do it there. But riding through the city is a lot more fun!


@vertis But the effort was part of it! It’s performance art, Luke!! ๐Ÿ˜›
