I have this memory of seeing an artwork where there were lines created on a map of a plaza that were based on the movement of a skater through the space. Does this ring a bell for anyone who might know the name of the artist/piece?

Are you thinking of when the Olsons skated through paint?

This is isnt it, but it's something people were doing a lot of a few years back. Did it look something like this:

Immediately thought of this too. I remember seeing it in a Transworld at a grocery store years ago and being hyped on it and it stuck in my mind all this time.

Not exactly that, but concept reminds me of this:

This type of stuff in enclosed spaces has been done times and times again though. IIRC even Brezinski once did some energy drink-supported shit involving colored paint and obstacles.
