GPS Embroidery

GPS Embroidery is a walking performance practice which appropriates a tool invented in the service of imperialism and puts it into the hands of artists who mother. It is an ongoing political response to the reactionary politics of our times, which aims to broaden ideas about who-gets-to-write-what-where in and about the British landscape.

Daniel Beerstecher has walked the distance of a marathon of 42,2km in 60 days with a speed of just 120m per hour.

Daniel Beerstecher started his extreme Slow-Walk Marathon within the Donaugalerie Tuttlingen on July 14, 2019 at noon at the Museum ArtPlus in Donaueschingen. He walked along the Danube for about 60 days, continued to Tuttlingen and to the finish line on the runway of the ariport Neuhausen ob Eck. In a distance of 42,195 km he walked approximately 120 meters per hour, for 6 hours each day.

During this radical deceleration, his current positions and coordinates, a live video and walking speed were transmitted via GPS and technologies of extreme athletes, on his website and at the Museum ArtPlus, the Kunsthalle Göppingen and the Gallery of the City of Tuttlingen.

In an innovative way the artist dealt with the geographical, technical and social conditions and challenges of our present. Online followers and local audiences could attend or even join the physical part of the performance.

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.
