An investigation of the power of ‘not knowing’ and wandering in walking art. Wandering, seen as a discipline of the art of loving the unforseen, the beauty of the problem and the philosophy of failing as a methodology to connect and reconnect with others, the environment and oneself. In this performance as a paper and paper as performance, written in a multimodal and multisensorial way, I connect sound, embodiment, drawings and multimedial storytelling as an ode to the walking soul and elaborate the definition of “Arachnid Thinking”.
