JODI, Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans present 
work-in-progress on a new project for Rotterdam:

The Navigator(TM) writes a message on the 
map.(Walk-a-Letter) (Bike-a-Word) (Drive-a-Book) 
(Swim-a-Smiley :) The trajectories form sentences 
in time. (Blue follows Black) How long does it 
take for an anonymous scooter to drive a legible 
word? The map of Rotterdam can display a thousand 
storyboards. (This way#Red - Walk#Green) How to 
read/write this book while in motion. 
(Roadmovie-Between the Lines- Passagenwerk) 
A:"Drive slowly to your work-Turn Right". A long 
text to go on a mobile screen. 
(GPSaccounting-Time) Numbers in the White Pages® 
of public transport. (La Linea-Bookmark/ 
Landmark- Latitude:Longitude) The irregular 
citygrid shapes a trembling %Local fontstyle. 
Through the urgent handwriting (follow my 
footsteps) a text appears. (Ink on wheels) WHOIS 
writing/driving the city and WHEREAMI in the 
story (Alphaville-Storyville-Dogville) Can 
Pattern recognition on these unreadable maps help 
me find directions? How to unscramble Haiku-maps? 
Am i on a journey in a message? An age long mess 
of roadworks, the Library of the street 
(Order-Dialect-Slang- Obscene- SMS) To read your 
line, call this website anytime. Find a secret 
trace in the shopping crowd. The irregular 
"structure" of streets (SOS), and its access 
resolution, determines how/where the writing 
layout takes place. (Map-layers vs alined page) 
Start-a-thread.
