Psychogeography and the Derive

It is interesting to consider the human effect on the environment around us as well as the way in which technology can be a bridge between as well as a wall between humanity and the environment. The idea of wandering around a space with no particular destination and goal is an interesting one. I often find myself wandering around parks or Philadelphia with no particular destination. It is a good way to try and interpret your surroundings. It is also important to realize that the point of derive is to bring people away from the privatized, fragmented type of urban sprawl and move it more towards a community.
