4. QUESTION OF THE DAY




5. INSPIRATION


Mappa Mundi

Francesco Careri (aka Piccio, one of the 
founders of Stalker group in Rome)
Walkscapes
Walking as an aesthetic practice 

“Walkscapes deals with strolling as an architecture of landscape. Walking as anautonomous form of art, a primary act in the symbolic transformation of the territory,an aesthetic instrument of knowledge and a physical transformation of the “negotiated”space, which is converted into an urban intervention. From primitive nomadism to Dada and Surrealism, from the Lettrist to the Situationist International, and from Minimalism to Land Art, this book narrates the perception of landscape through a history of the traversed city.”

John Brinck Jackson‘s quote says it pretty nicely,
“Roads no longer merely lead to places, they are places.”
Ulysses

Luopan chinese compass.

Will Self
Obsessed with Walking - video

“The great perambulator muses on his 
walking obsession and the fascinating
concept of psychogeography.”
