The primary task of this waypoint application is to operate as a locator and report hub for art in public spaces. The interface will primarily rely in a dynamic GPS mapped interface, that tells you how to locate public art, and interactively shows you what the art looks like.
A visual as well as logistical example of this is the City of Seattle's Police Department crime mapper, which shows you, via various icons, what crimes have happened on a dynamic grid of the greater Seattle area. Unlike the City website, our app will allow for the icons to be clicked on, and openned, to view the destination and subject.
What our app will do, is act simultaneously as a compass to look up and locate various kinds of art in a public sphere (tagged categories will include "Mural", "Public Installation", "Sculpture", "Commissioned Graffiti", "Interactive Art", "Industrial Art", etc.), as well as a database to enter unmapped art via the public eye/hand. It is thus a growing crowdsource-dependent map. Like a Facebook group, people will be able to (within strict parameters and rules regarding appropriateness, legality, and quality), post newly created, found, or undocumented art in said categories, adding to the city grid database.
Once a piece is successfully entered into the system, it will be represented on the grid interface, and show you on a map and/or in steps how to locate it. (e.g., Mapquest, Google Maps)
