 It is a playful process that there aren't too many rules. I guess the rule is to make them as messy and as chaotic as possible, to counter the slickness of the data that I'm getting on my phone. All those apps that measure how many steps we've taken in a day, how many kilometres I've run or all of that quantifying of our efforts to either become healthier or lose weight. The drawings, they don't clarify anything. They communicate the messiness of being a body and a mind combined. My name's Shareen Fard. I am Associate Professor in Visual Communication in the Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building at UTS. So I've been running for about two years. A friend coached me to start at the beginning of the first COVID lockdown. And part of running was recording those runs through Strava, which is an exercise app. I started to change my runs in order to affect the line, the GPS line. When I thought about how I could actually try to capture those really banal everyday things in the data when I get home from my run, I will often print out, I'll take a screen grab of my Strava data. And then I sit at my desk and I've got black and white paper, pencil, chart goal, nothing too fancy. And I just trace the line, the GPS line. And then it's a process of looking at the Strava data at the graphs and again kind of transcribing the graph. It documents my split pace. So it'll tell me in this kilometer, you ran this kilometer in six minutes. So I will often take those graphs and not identify them by the time, but rather by a thought, a feeling, an observation. They're kind of spontaneous drawings, lots of squiggly lines, they're messy. The longer runs, so anything that, you know, 10 kilometers and over, they produce the more interesting drawings because there's a lot more information and a lot more sensation to capture. The taking of the data and then giving it another purpose, you know, through the drawings is interesting as a method. We play so much emphasis on things like speed, like performance and doing better and improving and getting healthier and getting stronger and losing weight. Everything that's part of this idea of well-being, doing something that doesn't necessarily achieve a result, whether it be in the sense of performance or self-improvement or financial gain. Drawing is just an end in itself because it feels good to draw, it feels good to run. They're these kind of activities that we just do for the sake of doing them.
