Walking and Art

The website "WalkArt" hosted on WordPress is a dedicated platform exploring the intersection of walking, art, and cultural geography. It documents and analyzes practices where walking is employed as an artistic and research method to engage with places, landscapes, and urban environments. The content includes essays, project descriptions, and reflections that examine how walking can reveal the sociocultural, political, and environmental dimensions of specific sites, often emphasizing sensory experience and embodied knowledge. The site also curates and archives various walking-based art projects, events, and exhibitions, highlighting the diversity of approaches in this field. It situates walking art within broader discourses such as psychogeography, place studies, and site-specific art, contributing to critical understandings of space and movement. By focusing on the artistic and geographical implications of walking, the platform serves as a resource for researchers, artists, and practitioners interested in the cultural geographies of mobility and place-making.

GPS, geo-poetic system

Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
