Another example of the mapping of Kawara's everydayness is in the work: ‘I Went, I Met, I Read, Journal, 1969’ (1992). Spread across four volumes, Kawara recorded specific aspects of each day in 1969; of his walking route, the newspaper clippings he read, and the list of people he met. What is particularly interesting in this work is how the coordinates (and their meticulous documentation) of where he went, who he met, and what he read, are interwoven into a fascinating picture (or, perhaps, a postcard) of 𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘺.
Well that rather depends on your definition of fun. Personally and nerdishly i would really like it if google exported my "timeline" in an open format i could more easily weave into a narrative in xml...

Another take on ephemera, intentionality, art and life.

.nowadays of course he could do it all automatically using google maps .
yes -- all the fun lost.
