Imaginary Drift

Audio paper summary (up to 300 words); 

The Imaginary Drift is a series of audio works that have arisen out of daydreams of travel to far off lands during the isolation experienced because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our seclusion indoors, is interrupted only by the briefest of walks outside for essentials such as food, through a world that seems familiar, yet is uncannily different. Using various online and compiled text generators based on OpenAI’s GPT-2 language model, texts are generated to describe various macroscopic and miscroscopic worlds. The AI, together with an initial human iput seeding the generated texts, produces scripts for spoken word descriptions of dreamlike spaces and imaginary walks.

Prespa-Ohrid 1848: A drifting walk of Edward Lear

ABSTRACT: Images can trigger memories. They can be a form of  communication and revelation. They can be physical images as well as those existing in an artist’s imagination. An image can be a special tool for studying the evolution of culture. In the beginning of 19th century, during the growth of the Romantic movement, landscape became an autonomous form of art
expression. English painter and novelist Edward Lear condemned the antiquated view of his own peers by expressing a strong interest in wild, natural landscapes. In his distinctive way, Lear depicted the scenes he encountered as well as the intense emotions he experienced during his trip from Thessaloniki to Ohrid, in the period of the Ottoman rule, in September 1848. This journey
was partially a walking exploration of the landscape and the urban environment of the cities he encountered. In 19th century, he was the only Englishman who investigated and created a large collection of paintings, drawings and sketches of the landscapes of the wider area around the Prespa basin. He walked in those “primitive” places, at different hours of the day and sketched the form
of the mountains and the streetscapes of the cities he reached. In his own way he used the practice of “walking art”, in a primitive way, to share his knowledge of the topography of this region.
This paper presents Edward Lear’s travelogue and descriptive works in the wider area of the Prespa basin, as inspiration for aesthetic and historical knowledge; while simultaneously, creating “quick narrarive skethes”, which is an experiential landscape practice.

Ver de Ouvir ao Caminhar

mapear narrativo dos lugares e paisagens de um corpo sonoro polifônico (experimentações em binaural audio)

Resumo 

Nosso trabalho toma como amparo e inspiração conceitual as reflexões postas pela “estética do caminhar” (Francesco Careri), pela “polifonia da comunicação urbana” (Massimo Canevacci) e pela filosofia da experiência (Jorge Larrosa), articuladas por uma cartografia e narrativa do/pelos afetos produzidas por um corpo “multissensorial” (Pallasmaa, 2011) e “poético” (Gil, 2001) . Assumimos como nossa principal baliza a ideia de que a experiência que temos com o mundo se dá de corpo inteiro. Ao caminhar, ouvimos, sentimos cheiros, esbarramos, tocamos, e também, vemos. Foi com esse entendimento que produzimos experimentações corpo-sonoro- polifônicas. Utilizamos técnicas de multidimensionalidade sonora (binaural audio) para potencializar a imersão do espectador-ouvinte e, assim, promover, pelo “ver de ouvir” de cada um, a criação de mapas, também narrativos, de lugares e paisagens alinhavados pela ativação de suas sensações e memórias de um caminhar que é, sobretudo, para dentro de si e que compõem, não somente a experiência de seus autores, mas também, a nossa experiência com o mundo. Buscamos, nesse sentido, contribuir com as questões levantadas por diversas áreas do conhecimento e pelo campo da arte, especialmente aquelas que lidam com a experiência contemporânea do habitar as cidades, sobretudo, a partir da perspectiva das narrativas urbanas produzidas pelas grafias do corpo e seus sentidos estético-políticos.

Walking West: a dérive along the “longest, wickedest street in America” 

Abstract

Walking West centres on a dérive by the author along Denver’s Colfax Ave, the “longest , wickedest street in America”, with this paper an account of that dérive and its resulting artwork.

Walking West comprised walking the length of Colfax in a single continuous movement while drawing a line on the sidewalk, tracing the route with a GPS device, while a satellite photograph captured the entire length of the street in a single image during the performance. The project additionally involved an outdoor screening of a film documenting the performance on prairie lands near Denver, and a gallery exhibition of a large-scale print (33x2m) of the satellite photograph and a film of the event.

The very act of walking has become marginalized in many American cities, yet by walking we can experience the city itself, at a human pace, as a space of discovery and encounter. The symbolic act of walking Colfax acted both as a lens to focus discussion on the role of the street in the cultural, social and political life of Denver, and as psychogeographic exposition of the urban ambiance, whilst acknowledging the interlocking multi-scalar hybrid nature of digitally mediated urban space, from embodied street-level action to the technological assemblages of surveillance satellites.

Walking West is rooted in a Situationist understanding of the dérive as research method; a exposition of the city’s psychogeography. However, this was not a pure drift, as it set itself strict parameters that owe more to a tradition of durational performance art whilst maintaining an awareness of the psychogeographic contours of the street. The paper suggests this hybridity asserts the continued validity of the dérive as research method within artistic research, through reflecting on the practice of the walk, its art outcomes, and the future directions it suggests.

Keywords: Psychogeography, walking art, situationism, Denver Colorado, Colfax Avenue, dérive, GPS, Satellite photography,

Deriva no Estúdio: Transitus e Pensamento de William Kentridge

Resumo 

A ação motora de caminhar, como deriva no estúdio, é uma forma de pensar 

através do corpo e é fundamental para William Kentridge (1955-). 

No estúdio, o transitus, além de deriva é também passagem, animado pela transposição intermedia e multidisciplinar regida pelo desenho. Através de um processo  cognitivo, reúne pensamento e perceção, que tem no caminhar a vitamina que atravessa e enforma a hibridação da prática de Kentridge: “It is only when physically engaged on a drawing that ideas start to emerge. There is a combination between drawing and seeing, between making and assessing, that provokes a part of my mind that otherwise is closed off” (Kentridge, citado em Tone, 2012). 

Estuda-se, pois, o quiasma entre o andar e o pensamento, no lugar orgânico e central de criação artística, o estúdio – contexto de uma prática intermedia fluída, concretizada através do desenho. Propõe-se a análise do estúdio como o lugar onde o desenho, por meio do caminhar, é, por natureza, o cruzamento entre possibilidade e impossibilidade, definido pela particularidade de ser pensamento em potência e pensamento prático, traduzido em  distintas e originais materializações intermedia. 

Palavras-chave: Pensamento/ Caminhar/ Estúdio/ William Kentridge/ Desenho. 

Abstract 

The physical action of walking, as drift in the the studio, is a way of thinking through the body, and it is fundamental for William Kentridge (1955-). In the studio, the transitus besides drift it is also passage, animated by the intermedia and transdisciplinary transposition guided by the drawing. Through a cognitive process, which brings together thought and perception, that has in the physical action of walking, the vitamin that crosses and forms the hybridization of Kentridge’s practice: “It is only when physically engaged on a drawing that ideas start to emerge. There is a combination between drawing and seeing, between making and assessing, that provokes a part of my mind that otherwise is closed off” (Kentridge, as cited in Tone, 2012). 

In this paper, we study the chiasm between walking and thought, as the organic and central place of artistic creation, the studio – the context of a fluid intermedia practice, realized through drawing. We propose the analysis of the studio as the place where drawing, through walking, is by nature the crossing between possibility and impossibility, defined by the particularity of being, thinking capacity of thought and act, translated into distinct and original intermedia materializations. 

Key Words: Thought/ Walk/ Studio/ William Kentridge/ Drawing.

Abstract
I write this abstract in lockdown living in Bath (UK), imagining Guimarães (Portugal). Both are UNESCO World Heritage Cities known for their natural spa waters, archaeology and beauty. These are liquid locales built upon mineral fluidity. Places shaped around the presence of ancient water that has flowed for thousands of years deep within the geology and archaeology of the land.

Drifting Through Bodies and Auguring Spaces: Terminalian Drift

Abstract:
In my experimental novel Terminalian Drift, the narrating voice has recently started living in André Cadere’s used skin. It’s not going well. A foreign resident of Osaka, Japan, the voice decides to wanders through a particular district in Osaka, searching for ways to facilitate a collaborative acceptance between the residential skin and the occupying skeletal/innards that the voice associates with. In its city drift, the narrator reveals shifting self-associations with locations and events that occur. The voice becomes embodied by the locations embodying its borrowed body as it interacts with what co-exist in those places, each entangling the other in ways which alter the relationship between skin and guts, internal workings and external surfaces, here and there, past and present, etc. Bodies drift in spacial/self fluidity. Layering summaries and quotes, this paper analyzes of how this pseudo-fictional/pseudo-documentary story works to facilitate similar fluidities for me, the author. By using a fictional character to tell a story of factual and fantasized happenings in actual locations, I can wear the city like a personal skin. I can take it personally. I can claim it as a pseudo-self, weaving/entangling fictional layers with historical portrayals that layer and co-inhabit the locations. Documented snippets of past happenings are used as an
armature onto which imaginary events attract, co-occupy, conflict and mitigate belief. The novel replaces the trend of generalization that rolls through history with specific occurrences, even if false—putting focus on the undeniable fact that nothing general has ever actually taken place. The novel is used as a way to perform a ritual of actualization, to nurture speculative seeds of specificity and let them germinate as half-truths, rumors, lies or whatever. The novel is used to auguristically increase the city by enfolding my poetics into its layers, letting it function as a Geopoetic machine.

Sensing Body and City

Abstract:

The Audio format works as an audio walk and is also based of the same named film Sensing Body and City (2020). In a 12-minute inner stream of consciousness, elements from different times, reflections and personal memory mesh together with a soundscape. As a poetic introspective a female* voice is moving through a mosaic of her present perception and memory that arise in certain places in Berlin.
The protagonist seeks for new images and representations of personal memories that are non-visible for others, written in the body just as the city.

The Unfamiliar City in Christina Kubisch’s Five Electrical Walks

Abstract
This paper examines Christina Kubisch’s Five Electrical Walks, a piece of sound art in which participants don special headphones that sonify electromagnetic waves emanating from any electric sources in the proximate environment, from automatic banking tellers and cell phones to neon signs and streetcar cables. As the peripatetic auditor traverses this normally hidden, newly manifest urban sound-world, her experience is defamiliarized in ways that I suggest are fundamentally ambiguous. On the one hand, FEW reveals the city’s organic order through what Kubisch calls the “surprisingly musical” sounds actuated by the walker’s presence. Unintended patterns coordinate, sometimes harmoniously, beyond the strict control of the artist and even, to some extent, the walker-auditor. On the other hand, in revealing the city’s “hidden sounds,” FEW may be said to discover the inorganic essence at the core of urban life. Alien-sounding screeches, aperiodic buzzes, and inscrutable whirs index a potentially terrifying ‘infra-world’—noisy, unreal, chaotic, inhuman—beneath the city’s apparent sense and normalcy. The function of FEW, I suggest, is less to endorse either of these urban visions than to play them off one another as continuously and as variously as possible.
While much of the presentation will consist of a traditional scholarly analysis of Kubisch’s FEW, this voice will be joined by two others. THE NAVIGATOR will direct the audio paper’s listener on a walk, which will of course vary according to the listener’s location. In turn, THE COMMENTATOR will compare the sonic world created in Five Electrical Walks to that of the walking listener of this audio paper. The commentator will introduce subtle background sounds generated by sampler and analogue synthesizer, to be heard as examples of the sonic phenomena the paper discusses.

Haunting the Archive

Abstrat:

When your work as an artist-researcher is about a response to place, how do you continue to conduct that research when you can’t physically be on site? This is a question that I have been forced to come up with answers to in the last few months. Since Spring 2019, I have been traveling to Ireland to live and work as artist-in-residence at Killruddery House; Gardens in Bray, as part of a practice-based PhD at SMARTlab University College Dublin, supported by the Irish Research Council. Staying at the house has been an integral part of a project to create a series of immersive 3D audio installations using geo-location in order to sonify some of the 400-year old written archives of an Anglo-Irish family, the Brabazons, who have lived and worked on the Killruddery estate since 1618. I have made hundreds of hours of recordings of informal conversations with the family, field recordings of the contemporary soundscape of house and surrounding landscape, plus recorded walks accompanied by my own spoken observations. This new recorded archive now takes on extra significance in providing a virtual experience of place, as I continue to research at a distance. 
The audio paper, in the form of a binaural sound walk, was recorded locally here in Brighton over an area of Stanmer House; Gardens in the South Downs National Park which most closely approximates to an area surrounding Killruddery House; Gardens. Stanmer Park was a regular venue for my permitted daily exercise during lockdown. The paper explores whether one place can creatively stand in for another so that an artistic practice based upon walking, listening and learning can continue as a form of haunting, one that ultimately bridges physical and imagined space.

Let’s go – On the concept, literature and practice of female* flanery

Abstract 

„We have to rebuild a world from the rustles of paper. Or we could put on our shoes and go out the door.“1 – Theory und practice of female* flanery A contemporary trend of walking cities has been emergent during the last years – more and more done by people other than the cis-male person, by women*. In this paper I would like to examine the female* flaneuse both in theory and practice. The assumption I am making here is that the double male gaze has an impact on all layers of historic and contemporary flanery – concept, literature and physical practice. Yet female* flaneuses are, and have been, walking the cities and making appearances in literature. I will lay the focus on how the female flaneuse – now and in future – has to be understood as fundamentally transgressive – not only in delimitation of the male flaneur. As claiming space and the freedom to one’s own pace is a emancipatory and feminist act. In a third step, looking at my own practice as a performative researcher and artist working in the field of strolling I will look at how flanery can re-imagine and re-shape cities both in our minds and through our bodies.

Trans-Missions and Resonant Encounters: composing the non-human body 

Abstract

In Insect Media, Jussi Parikka frames his discussion of ‘media as insect ’as a way to foreground media as more-than-technology and more-than-mediation. Insect media do not exist as a site between the natural world and the constructed, built, or human world. They do not negotiate duality. Instead such ill-conceived binary spaces converge in embodied forms of bestial, non-human, interconnectedness within living/lived spaces. Insect media do not interpret, describe, or represent realities for us (that is us humans). For Parikka, insect media are “a contraction of forces of the world, specific resonating milieus: internal milieus with their resonation, external milieus affording their rhythms as part of that resonation.” 

What does it mean then to inhabit, discover, and become such an insect media body? How might such intensive states of being be revealed in the act of encountering, resonating with, and moving through embodied spaces? How might one be both inside and outside bodies, subject and other? In an age where transmission and infection bring fear of the ‘foreign body ’and its impacts, and where human bodies inscribe their devastating impact on the geological and atmospheric forces of the earth, what can we learn from becoming with such non-human, inhumane, bodies? What are their fluid, multimodal methods of cross-disciplinary trans-mission and how might we receive them? 

In our audio paper/audio walk, we explore what it is to inhabit these resonant spaces. Reflecting on theoretical models from posthuman, non-human, and more-than-human perspectives, we design a narrated audio experience that incorporates psychoacoustic phenomena such as auditory brainwave entrainment, binaural beats, and fragmentation/granulation of sound materials that de-centralize and deconstruct the sounding world. The boundaries between music, field recording, sound art and sound assembly are blurred and reinterpreted in the listening/explorative space. Spaces convolve, disperse and digitally re-order through patterns and rules evolving simultaneously through the sounding expanse, developed and mediated by the sounding, resonating space that emerges.

Walking in LifePlace

Abstract
The paper for the ‘Drifting Bodies – Fluent Spaces’ Conference is focused on the theme ‘Walking Stories, Looking into Walking Narratives.’
I have originated three activations around walking narratives that are outlined below:
1) Ways of Seeing, Walks of Life

A student exploratory visual, sensory and photojournalistic experience about the streets, structures and neighbourhoods of the multicultural city of Durban.

The ‘living experience’ aims to improve their skills and heighten their observational faculties of ‘life place’ through ‘walking in the making’ of interpretations and pictures.
Through a series of 10 themed walks spanning out across the city, a sense of social cohesion unfolds through support, friendship, protection, and camaraderie.

2) KulturKonneKt – Walking Tours of X-ploration
A series of walks through the inner city of Durban that connect citizens with the social heritage, cultural geography, fractured origins and growth of the city into the new democracy of the Rainbow Nation.
The walks aim to develop a sense of tolerance and acceptance of the ‘other’ from widely different cultures.

3) The Labyrinth – Walking Journeys for Writers, Poets and Artists
‘LifePlace’ routes from maps of Durban guide groups of literary creatives through streets, buildings and recreation centres that are textually rich in aspects of the five senses. After the walk the writers gather in memory and sensory recall sessions where they ‘finger walk’ through the route on a map whilst dramatising what they have seen and felt. 
An extension project involves combining elements from the three walks into a heritage arts
exploration that ends up at a community-built Labyrinth in a central city park.
The plan is to connect local with global in a synchronised experience that reaches to fellow
Labyrinth walkers in other countries.
Each walker will carry a compass to fix the locational point of view of interactions with the
spatial-scape.

Shadow-walks

Abstract
key words: walking, sounding, communities, memory, narrative, In this audio paper I describe my ongoing Shadow-walks project, which has occurred in Asia, Europe, Australia and the Americas. The process is straightforward. I arrive in a new place and ask local inhabitants to take me on a special walk, one that has been repeated many times and has meaning or significance for that person. While walking together, I record our conversations and their stories. I then go back along the same route alone, attempting to get a sense of my previous companion’s traces on the walk, and I sing what I feel using wordless  improvisations.
An idea attributed to James Joyce is that places remember events and I find this idea very engaging – as if everything that happens leaves traces that we might be able to sense. If a person walks through certain places repeatedly, along the same route, does that act of walking impose a trace that can be mapped across time and space? In a sense Shadow-walks is an attempt to make a person’s traces, their shadow, audible through my singing, improvising voice.
During the Covid 19 pandemic I have adapted the project to become Shadow-walks (at home), in which I gather recorded descriptions of walks and my singing reflects how I imagine them.
Examples of these and other Shadow-walks are played, including one in the
borderlands of the Greek Prespes area and another with two women who discuss their fear of femicide in Mexico City.

SENSIBILIZE: UM PROJETO DE ENSINO

SANT’ANNA, CAMILA ; GONÇALVES, NAYARA & MIRANDA, LARISSA

Resumo

O presente pôster trata da disciplina “Sensibilização da Paisagem” ofertada pelo curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Federal de Goiás, Regional Cidade de Goiás(UFG).  Essa disciplina propõe, através de um olhar sensível aos fatores cotidianos urbanos, a descoberta ou [re]descoberta da paisagem da Cidade de Goiás (GO), para além do seu centro histórico mais turístico. Além de ser conhecida como cidade patrimônio histórico e de nascimento da poetiza Cora Coralina, ela desponta como uma cidade universitária, abrigando três instituições públicas, com alunos, técnicos e professores, muitas vezes, originários de outro lugar, que possuem pouca familiaridade com o Bioma Cerrado e com o patrimônio cultural de Goiás. O objetivo da disciplina é apresentar e desenvolver métodos de estímulo de vivências paisagísticas tanto individuais (diário da paisagem) quanto coletivas (debates, leituras e walkscapes), desde a apreensão até a atuação no território da cidade. Este pôster descreve e analisa os resultados desse projeto de ensino e avalia quais seriam os próximos passos. 

Palavras-chave: Ações de sensibilização, Paisagem, Ensino, Participação e Goiás.

Keywords: Awarenesse-raising measures, Landscape, Teaching, Participation, Goiás.
