Pyschogeographic Explorations

Second year fine art students took part in a reading and practice session today, where we first looked at a reading from Merlin Coverley's 'Psychogeography' the section called Walking the City with De Certeau. We discussed the ideas within the reading around governance and the human experience of such. And the idea that Walking might be an act of rebellion or subversion.Then each student was given a gps point to go to, and then take one hour to walk from that point to the Hanley Park bandstand, paying attention to everything, both significant and insignificant, and taking a record of the journey.
This is Jess Thornton's response: whenever Jess' route was interrupted she took a panoramic photograph.

And then Below is Ali Steventon's observation: the area around the park has a lot of litter, and a big problem with fly tipping.
