The article I read was “A New Way of Walking” by Joseph Hart and I chose this one because the title was intriguing and I have yet to do my sound walk so I thought I might be able to find some tips or strategies for walking through the streets of Milwaukee.
Hart goes into how this “new way of walking” is neither random or goal oriented. Its right in that neutral place and therefore becomes exciting and surprising. This new way of walking, in technical terms, is called generative psychogeography or algorithmic walking which is walking in a fixed pattern. When Hart explains when he did his algorithmic walk he found that he was discovering new things about his town finding historical things and other interesting relics.
Hart’s ideas are related to my practices in this is what we are doing, only taking microphones with and documenting our walks.
