Walking piece

One of four participants guides the group along his usual route, which runs (due to his short memory disorder and his visual impairment with his right eye) counter-clockwise along the fence of Johannesstift area. So he can always see with his seeing left eye the fence around area and arrive at the starting point of his walk, closing the circle.

The project was developed as part of my art walk workshop, which is run as a regular educational program at the creative center for people with physical and cognitive disabilities “Die Macherei” at the Johannesstift Diakonie, Proclusio GmbH Berlin. The walk was made with the group of four people. Due to data protection, the names of the participants may not be mentioned in credits.

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).
