A psychogeographical journey

I have gone on two derives, and written them up.

I have created an on-line presence with a facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/scriber.punk), a blog (https://scriberpunkblog.wordpress.com), and a tumblr account (err, here)

I have made contacts. I have thirteen friends on facebook. I have even emailed one of them away from facebook in a real communication. (Hello Joey.)

I have made playful, almost arty reviews of some of the books I read (SmartArt flows for Coverley, an imaginary interview of Moll Flanders, a captioned photo for Ballard, and a sarcastic map for Bonnett). I have written my derives up in a scientific report style, because that was fun too.

I have started two photo projects. Time travel archeology (inspired by Phil Smith’s mythogeography) and ‘Art’ in public places, both of which are being posted on facebook, but I may expand my empire of dirt and create an Pinterest account for them.

OK. I’d say that equates to having found somewhere to live, had a look around, met a few people, and started to look for work.

“Unfold a street map… place a glass, rim down, anywhere on the map, and draw round its edge. Pick up the map, go out in the city, and walk the circle, keeping as close as you can to the curve. Record the experience as you go, in whatever medium you favour.” Robert MacFarlane,
