Walking Piece SWS23
Hill

From the actions of the work Colina, a proposition of walking towards the stillness, I discuss the relations of listening and the event insurgency as a starting point for creation and aesthetic fruition. I reflect with the gesture of sitting slides between displacement and stop, lingering, and between displacement and landscape, in becoming hill.

If I am walking with two other men, each of them will serve as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself.

Walking at an ant’s pace

7 Dec, 2023

David Merleau created an interactive storytelling audio walking app, offering a day-in-the-life experience of various types of ants. During walks, users hear stories that adapt to their environment, creating an innovative "pace-based" interactive experience. This project allowed Merleau to connect with his peers and find purpose during COVID lockdowns.
