Whilst in the space, the work - Ardunio Earthwalk - stood out as the most popular amongst visitors as it offered an intuitive way of controlling google earth using five footpads representing cardinal points as heading directions. By using pads simultaneously it is also possible to zoom in and out of points on the map. The map is projected on the floor - like a strange bait the participant seems to be jumping and dancing around the footpads attracting a crowd.
