Geo Spatial video

Coming back on the bus it strikes me that, as we pass through one area of the city into another we are passing through a range a demographic types for each of these postcode areas we pass through. An idea is to maybe record a piece of linear video footage (maybe on a mobile device with appropriate software), that is geo-tagged and in some way is engraved with the the demographic type for that postcode area. This would be super imposed on top of video which noses into possible demographic signifiers along the root. Shops, light fittings, pubs, betting shops, certain people on the streets who might look (from a far) a certain way, prisons etc.

This use of bus routes feels like a kind of reaction to this work http://bus-tops.com/, which I am intrigued to find out more about.
