Here's a nice project, people from all over the world use GPS positioning technology to find the exact longitude / latitude intersections on the earth, then the post photos of the exact spot on their website

they may or may not consider themselves artists, I sure think they are

Perhaps the product of the work, the website itself, is not art, but in my opinion the act of pursuing the work- that is accurately identifying a spot via GPS and then taking an image of that spot to be posted on the Internet for everyone to see definitely qualifies as conceptual art.
