5×20 paces: a walking score for noticing what you notice
This walkshop is about being curious about what we usually don’t notice. We all have our favorite, mostly unconscious, ways of organizing how we experience and what we notice. For example, we tend to navigate our lives in the same plane—in other words, we are upright creatures, and we like to stay that way. Add to this the fact that, for many of us, our daily lives are lived in geometrically organized environments—city streets, squared-off buildings, right-angled rooms.
What happens when those patterns are disrupted?
What do you see/hear/smell/think? What do you discover?
The natural world does not operate on a grid; plants do not favor straight lines. What are we missing—about our bodies, about the earth moon and sky and all the non-human lives spaces and times around us—when we assume that our habitual methods of moving through the world are ‘the’ way to move through the world?
Join Lise Brenner for a collective re-discovery of things we didn’t know we were missing out on noticing. 5×20 paces is a reworking of a score co-created during The City from a Plants Perspective at iLAND

Walking Arts & Local Communities (WALC) is an artistic cooperation project, co-funded by the European Union, Creative Europe, starting in January 2024 for four years. With seven partners from five countries, WALC establishes an International Center for Artistic Research and Practice of Walking Arts, in Prespa, Greece, at the border with Albania and North Macedonia, backed up by an online counterpart in the format of a digital platform for walking arts.
WALC builds on the previous work of hundreds of artists and researchers already practicing Walking Arts as a collaborative medium, and having met at the significant previous walking arts events and encounters in Greece, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, and during online activities at walk · listen · create.
