5×20 paces: a walking score for noticing what you notice

Hof ter Welle VZW, Anna Piersdreef, Beveren-Kruibeke-Zwijndrecht, Belgium

In 5x20 Paces, Lise Brenner invites us to disrupt habitual ways of moving and noticing. Through a collective score, we explore what our upright, grid-shaped lives conceal—and rediscover our bodies, the earth, sky and more-than-human worlds.

DELIRIUM AMBULATORIUM

Hélio Oiticica’s Delirium Ambulatorium explores urban wandering as a creative practice, a “to-and-from” movement without linearity, where walking through the city feeds the mind, transforms urban space into a playground, and allows new artistic ideas to emerge through sensory, bodily, and chance encounters.

Les 9 Muses

Girona, Spain

Proposem fer una performance participativa caminant amb les peces d’avellaner pels volts del congres. Inicialment faran ballar les Muses, les 4 ballarines Ona Mestre, Zoe Balasch, Joana Sardà i Sandra Fradera. Després les peces passaran de cos a cos per sentir la relació de les branques amb la pell i cos, sentir els moviments i sensacions que provoquen, i obrir-nos a la màgia del que pot succeir al posar-nos en contacte amb elles.

Online presentation of the remote project. Depending on where it takes place, along with its political, social or environmental context, walking can take on a different meaning. Why do we walk?

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).
