British Summer Time – Sunrise Walks

British Summer Time is a series of short sunrise walks in consideration of the time change. Over seven seasons, walkers from across Europe and the Americas have joined me to explore the dawn.

Starting the day before the clocks switch to Daylight Savings Time in the United States, until the day the United Kingdom switches to British Summer Time, I will walk from 15 minutes before sunrise until 15 minutes after. You are invited to join me from anywhere in the world.

Date: 11 March – 26 March 2023
Time: From 15 minutes before sunrise until fifteen minutes after.
Location: Wherever you happen to be.
Share: I take a picture at the beginning, middle and end of my walk, but you can feel free to document it any way you please. You can

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).
