THE LRM

The LRM is an organization focused on the documentation, preservation, and exploration of ephemeral and site-specific artworks, particularly those that intersect with cultural geography and public space. It functions as an archival platform that collects and curates research materials on walking-based art practices, environmental interventions, and other performative actions that engage with landscapes and urban environments. The LRM emphasizes the historical and contemporary significance of these practices by providing detailed records, artist interviews, critical essays, and visual documentation. The platform serves as a resource for scholars, artists, and researchers interested in the ways art interacts with geographic and social contexts. Through its extensive archive, The LRM highlights the intersection of art, geography, and anthropology, underscoring how walking and movement in space can operate as a form of artistic inquiry and cultural critique. The collection includes a range of artworks that challenge traditional gallery spaces, focusing instead on the dynamic and temporal qualities of art situated in physical environments.

The art of ‘getting lost’: how re-discovering your city can be an antidote to capitalism

‘Situationists’ believe the physical spaces around us, and how we interact with them, has a significant impact on how we feel. Source: The art of ‘getting lost’: how re-discovering your city can be an antidote to capitalism

driftingspace

The website Drifting Space is a digital platform dedicated to exploring urban environments through the practice of psychogeography and drifting, or dérive. It presents an evolving collection of essays, reflections, and visual documentation focused on the relationships between people, space, and place. The content frequently engages with themes of walking as a mode of artistic and spatial investigation, mapping the emotional and social dimensions of everyday urban landscapes. The site highlights projects and writings that examine the impact of architecture, infrastructure, and social dynamics on mobility and perception within the city. It draws upon theories from geography, sociology, and contemporary art to deepen understanding of how urban spaces are experienced and transformed by the act of moving through them. Overall, Drifting Space functions as a resource for both practitioners and scholars interested in the intersection of walking practices and cultural geography.

Dérive app

Dérive is a mobile application designed to encourage exploratory walking through cities using playful prompts and chance-based instructions. Inspired by the Situationist concept of the dérive, a method of drifting through urban environments to experience their psychological and social effects, the app nudges users to move through places in unfamiliar ways rather than following conventional routes. Instead of maps or predefined routes, the app presents users with “task cards” that propose actions, observations, or small interventions in the surrounding environment. These prompts might ask users to follow a particular sound, look for overlooked details, interact with strangers, or reinterpret the built landscape. By introducing randomness and curiosity into walking, the app transforms everyday urban movement into a creative and reflective practice that reveals hidden histories, spatial patterns, and social dynamics. Dérive is used by artists, educators, and curious pedestrians alike to explore cities from new perspectives. It functions both as a personal exploration tool and as a platform for curated “decks” of task cards created by artists, researchers, or communities. Through these decks, the app supports workshops, participatory art projects, and psychogeographic experiments that invite participants to question how cities are structured and how people move through them.

Vienna is a wonderful subject for a deck of Dérive app task cards, and so, we now have a deck for Vienna.
