Abstract

Unruly Pitch is a new project to digitally map one of England’s last remaining mass-football games. Using GPS devices, the movement of players is recorded and visualized revealing an intense game without rules, using the streets, becks and woodland of Workington as the football pitch. The work includes a digital map printed on paper, a video and a hand engraved leather football.
