Ana-Laura, I’ve just started playing with the new “My Maps” feature on google maps, which allows you to create overlays (public or private) for google maps. You can draw lines, shapes, attach markers and include images and other content as part of descriptions of your own places. Could be quite a good way of making personalised maps for your walks.

All the best,

Marko

I think Chris Drury is an interesting artist who is interested in maps and walking. I have not looked up the Google map site yet but would really like to learn how to layer.
thanks for the tip..

Ana Laura, I am working on an edition for critical dictionary (www.criticaldictionary.com) called “The Walk”, with the editor David Evans. I will keep you posted as to when this goes live. It should be some time over the Summer.

Hi Ana Laura
You might be interested in a project I am currently engaged in: http://www.humblyband.wordpress.com
I am building a 16ft, 2 man Curach, and next year I will be making an ambitious pan Highland journey with 2-3 other visual artsist, carrying the Curach across land, rowing it across inland and coastal waters and sheltering beneath the vessel. It is for me, the perfect nomadic vehicle!

I’m delighted to have come across this blog, great work!

Hey

This is a lovely website. I do various of work myself from performances to textwork, where part of that practice is to walk or move through the public landscape, in order to generate meetings.

In 2009 I made a walking project, called 599, from England to Denmark, which I have documented in a book, which I will happily share with everyone. It can be downloaded from my website: http://www.madsfloorandersen.com/mfa/?page_id=227 (this is the direct link).

Hope you can find it useful

all the best

HI, I would like to mention you
the PrimaveraRomana project: a series of public exploratory walks with the aim to collectively explore the ongoing social and urban transformation of the urban space of the city of Rome. Through the direct experience, the walks aim to raise awareness of the reality on the ground and of the shared imaginary of the city and to encourage an active citizenship on key matters for a possible social and urban transformation.

Great resource and site for someone like me just beginning this exploration of the connection between walking and art. Here’s a link to my first project (Walk the Talk) which will launch in October. http://www.pozible.com/index.php/archive/index/1191/description/0/0 It’s a participatory arts project that invites strangers to pair up, and go on an en-mass self directed stroll through a public park in Melbourne, Australia. I’m currently working with a cartographer to develop some psycho-spatial mapping visualizations of these walks.
Cheers, Peter

Thanks for this interesting and helpful website, which I have only just discovered. I am in the final (I hope) stages of a PhD project at Macquarie University in Sydney. It’s based on photos I have been taking for the last 12 years of inscriptions on roads and footpaths. You might be interested in my blog, Pavement Graffiti http://www.meganix.net/pavement. As often happens with blogs, my rate of writing posts has slowed down recently, but that’s because I am currently working on the development of a website which will form the ‘creative’ section of the PhD. It’s to be called ‘Pavement appreciation: a step-by-step guide to reading the asphalt’.
