Blake Morris, Walking Networks: The Development of an Artistic Medium

Blake Morris’s Walking Networks: The Development of an Artistic Medium, is an important book on walking as an artistic medium. Based on his PhD thesis, it’s also incredibly expensive and not available in my university’s library, so I had to purchase a very expensive and unpaginated e-book; the lack of pagination explains why the citations … Continue reading Blake Morris, Walking Networks: The Development of an Artistic Medium →

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).
