Martin Pirongs GPS map of his walk around London

An art student has used GPS to draw an outline of his body across a map of London.

Martin Pirongs, 51, created the “M25 Man” by tracking his 10-day, 180-mile walk.

The former TV actor from Brent Cross, covered 18 miles per day and stayed in Airbnbs or hotels.

He logged his steps with a phone and transferred the data to his website where the outline took shape.

"We are very disembodied. So making something, a body, is a way of connecting.”
