Greylands website

Greylands is a robotic drawing project, framed as a fake real estate company 'Greylands'. Users are invited to draw blueprints for new homes using a java applet on the website. These drawings are then sent to our drawing robot, which uses GPS to accurately mark out the drawings in chalk powder, life size on vast outdoor sites. These sites are chosen specifically for their contested nature, and usually have high levels of pollution and toxicity.
