Equipped with a device that relies on Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite to determine one’s current position (longitude, latitude, and elevation), FUJIHATA climbed Mt. Fuji. Using his own personal data collected on that trip, he later constructed a new Mt. Fuji within his computer, and led a workshop where he interrogated the relation between imagination and physical experience. In the workshop, three participants used GPS to collect information and to alter the map of Mt. Fuji in real time. The results of the project were presented during this
program.
