Psychogeography

Social fiction

 

socialftion.org was present at the Berlin Urban Drift festival 2002 to do a presenation on generative psychogeography. Obviously this could not go without giving the audience the possibility to do an experiment with us the day after, at 12 october.

At 4 in the afternoon a small but dedicated group of psychogeographers were present to explore the surroundings of the area around the café Moskau at which the festival took place.

We left as a group in the same direction (the dotted line), slowly dispersing into different directions as the algorithm (and our interpretation) would have it.

This is the combined graph of 4 walks.

Here are some snapshots:

 

Thanx to Berlin psychogeograher Nick Grindell for logistics & ideas, Cheers to Brooklyn Psychogeographer Dave Mandl for the moral support.
