Algorithmic Psychogeography--Laura Napolitano

This is an interesting article because it talked about reacting to one's surroundings based on a few simple rules. Algorithmic Psychogeography has a certain outcome based on how you respond psychologically to your physical surroundings. This would be an interesting exercise to try in class, but it would definitely be very time consuming. I think something like this could only be attempted in large cities like Philly or NYC because if it was done in suburbs or rural areas, there wouldn't be much change from one turn to the next. Adding a video camera that picked up what the participant sees and hears would be an interesting aspect of the experiment as well.
