................maps of our psychogeographical walks
:: created by good omen designing :: last time updated on 28-04-2009 ::
on the two maps bellow all of our psychogeographical walks are marked and they are linked to the documentation, either psychogeographical portraits [PDF documents for 04, 05, 06 and 07], gallery of images [01] or the website created for that walk [03]. in some cases there are links [01VR] conected to the page with our urban square VR panorama made during the walk or few days before or after.
psychogeography is “walking on a very narrow path” between art and science. this is suiting our goal very well. our intention is to have artistic freedom in interpreting the facts, and perceive things unseen before. in the first half of 2006 this work was recognized by bill humber from the seneca college’s centre for the built environment and we started collaboration on a “digital neghbourhoods project”. between other research we formed a teams that performed two psychogeographical walks.

participants were couple of people from our group and at least one person living in the area. technique is quite simple. group of enthusiasts is walking for an hour or so with a not predetermined plan through the part of the community with eyes wide open and curiosity. help of some recording devices for later analysis [digital or video camera, pen and paper etc.], live discussions and possible contacts with locals is all you need. our working definition of this procedure is: ” the subjective analysis–mental reaction, to neighbourhood behaviours related to geographic location. a chronological process based on the order of appearance of observed topics, with the time delayed inclusion of other relevant instances”. bill humber, one of the participants in some of our walks, described our intentions in his article about psychogeography like this: “in discovering a small world we discover the whole world.”
