Algorithmic Psychogeography - Charly Joung

I find the idea of urban exploration and mapping city landscapes interesting because it allows for a different experience of your surroundings while being able to share those experiences with others. With that in mind, I feel that algorithmic psychogeography adds another dimension to urban exploration, but also detracts from the randomness of exploration. Algorithms creates constraints on the explorer's feelings and actions of a drift, and ultimately causes that drift through space to become somewhat of a directed trip.
