From mashable.com

"...In November, viral video masters OK Go teamed up with Range Rover in the Evoque Pulse of the City project, in which they set out to create a huge “OK Go” sign, written in GPS across their hometown city of L.A. They used the Range Rover Pulse of the City app [iTunes link] to do the scrawling.

The project, and ensuing video for song “Back From Kathmandu,” garnered them tons of attention, as well as a MTV OMA nomination for Most Innovative Music Video.

At the time, OK Go also asked fans to create their own GPS-etched journeys, which have been compiled and edited by into the above video. Seems a fitting vid to feature on Earth Day.

This isn’t the first time a person has created GPS-spun art. This past summer, literature lover Nick Newcomen drove 12,328 miles across 30 U.S. states to scrawl “Read Ayn Rand” via GPS data inputted into Google Earth."
