Traces is a companion app inspired by St Fagans National Museum of History, Wales, blending fact and fiction drawn from its space, stories, and archives. It is designed for users interested in exploring layered narratives and discovering hidden elements within the museum environment.

Traces is not an audio guide. Nor is it a tourist guide.

It is a companion – telling you a story that reveals fragments of fact and fiction inspired by St Fagans National Museum of History, Wales; the space, its stories and archives.

It is for the curious. For the seekers of mystery. And for those who are willing to get lost in the traces of a story.

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.
