Psycho-geographic Exercise

I chose to read this one because in my Steadi-Cam class, this is essentially what our next project is. The article talks about how if you give a person or group of people specific rules to follow it could be a fun way to explore or visit a place. It said that depending on when people did it circumstances could change and everyone would encounter different things when they did the walk. I got a chance to do a small walk the other day with a iPod video to walk along with and it was pretty interesting. You see the way something was then and the way it is when you do it and it puts a cool spin on the experience. Overall I believe its a great experimental activity that has potential to be very successful, especially in this time period with google maps and GPS and all that stuff.
