Mapping Our Way – A Group Audio Walk

Following Finding Our Way – Nathania Hartley’s last group walk around Archway, Mapping Our Way will take influence from previous encounters with the area, melding past and present, imaginings and realities. We will walk as a group, silently, following old paths and finding new ways.

A recorded voice will be the sonic map to guide us, as we come together to listen to the city and uncover the many layers that make up our urban space and our place within it.

Free, but please book via Eventbrite to receive the audio link needed for the walk. Booking link – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mapping-our-way-a-group-audio-walk-tickets-411193860907

Depending on how you look at it

Janice Jensen's "walkingwhiledrawing" project explores the subjective perception of moving through the environment. Using a drawing machine, she records her movements while walking to create linear documentation and virtual landscapes in VR. The ongoing project has been displayed in various exhibitions and is set to expand with new landscapes and multimedia elements.

Walking the Line

Participants were invited to start to walk as if to their homes, following as straight a line as possible. Prompts were given that predetermined stopping and reflective points based on Fibonacci sequences. As artists came from Australia, the USA, Greece and the UK, their routes led off in very different directions.

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.
