Walking is Measuring, Art museum in Lordelo do Ouro e Massarelos, Portugal.
Walking is Measuring is an artistic installation in Porto that uses movement through space to explore how bodies interact with their surroundings. The work captures visitor paths and transforms them into visual data patterns.
The installation originated in the early 2000s as a project of the Serralves Foundation, which focuses on contemporary art in Portugal. It marked an important moment when technology and artistic practice converged to raise new questions about spatial perception.
The exhibition transforms ordinary walking into an artistic experience, encouraging visitors to consider their physical relationship with architectural spaces.
Visitors enter the installation and follow marked paths while sensors record their movements. Wear comfortable shoes, as the experience requires active movement through the space.
The work generates real-time visual maps of walking paths, transforming everyday movement into abstract art patterns. Each visit produces a different visual result, as each person's movement data contributes to the overall composition.
