Abstract

Self-tracking technologies have become an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. In addition to their health monitoring function, the visualizations generated by fitness technologies are used
by individuals to express themselves through so-called GPS drawings.

During the corona pandemic, when it was no longer possible to exercise in groups, GPS drawing gained popularity. Making a drawing through a sporting activity and sharing it online became a substitute social activity, improving not only physical but also mental health. The Kongelige Akademi GPS Drawing Club
consists of students and staff of the Royal Danish Academy who consider their fitness activities an artistic practice as well. They go out exercising to create ‘drawings’ using satellite navigation and self-tracking tools, and at the same time improving their health.
