Beestachtig - Wildsnoeier - Cutting Hedge - m²Circles - Walking Around

I am base80, I used to be super famous for my Cinema 4d tutorial site base80.com, yep same me. I have almost completely stopped doing 3d-modeling and animation but hey, what I do now is kind of the same 🙂 Modeling shrubs and making GIFs and being fascinated by scale, dimension and shape and a strong dislike of rounded numbers.

This site is about all the things I forgot to do while working behind a computer. There are parallels to be found between the two universes like for example the “Undo” button on a computer is like waiting a year in nature and hoping the shrub has repaired itself.

I want to walk a distance of 50 km. So I started to draw a circle on the map with a 50km radius. At first I just imagined walking to an attractive place, so I plotted the walk using a walking nav app. Immediately I realized there was quite a gap betwee...

Weeds are Community

With her sound walk Weeds are Community, Lúcia Harley created an invitation to look closer at the organic fabric around us through weeds: plants you might overlook every day as they seek sanctuary in walls, reach up from drains and push through cracks in the pavement.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
