A suit that recorded journeys through physical and virtual spaces, made in collaboration with a local 12 year old boy chosen by Magna museum from their audience workshops. Jack chose his favourite places in videogames which were photographed and made into mock up images of a garment chosen by him. His final choice of design was then made and worn during his favourite real world journey, a day long walk up the mountain 'Kinder Scout'. This journey was recorded using a GPS device and the route sewn back into the suit.
