Walking Arts as Movement, Relation, and Utopia – the Milena Principle, Made of Walking, and walking as the 21st-Century Commons

Introducing the new WALC partner The Milena Principle: a nomadic artistic platform that understands walking as movement, relation, and utopia. Through Made of Walking, it cultivates walking as a commons: collective, ecological, ethical, and performative. Rooted in Renaissance humanism and Spaziergangwissenschaft, its practices dissolve boundaries between art and life, foregrounding care, encounter, migration, and shared imagination across places, species, and communities and futures together.

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).
