Intentional Walks in New York City

Intentional Walk 1

During the walk, a group of 5-10 people will engage in practices designed to help us slow down, explore ourselves, and connect with the city around us.

What we’ll do:

• In a research group format, we’ll engage in simple tasks that are often too boring or tedious to do alone
• We’ll learn to see more, notice details, expand our everyday worldview, and listen to ourselves
• We’ll build new connections with the city, feel like a part of it, and reclaim our “right to the city”
• We’ll rest, slow down, and unload, practicing or rediscovering what it means to be “here and now”

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).
