Just seems that certain trends, areas of activity, modes of production and stagnant thinking, standardized, or simply have failed to bring new things and going and it appears someone (usually many) and provides a new approach, different.
few days ago, Pablo Sanz Almoguera told me about London Psychogeophysics Summit to be held on August 7 in London. Rather than meet the nth peripatetic practices and review of common places of psychogeography, this event makes a shift back in history to return to insulfar psychogeography with Debord and company potential. detected in her back in the late 50's. The research focuses on places of historical significance, scenarios of traumatic memory, not so much from a production planning or public space from the point of view of investment , emotionally in them. Research techniques ranging from hunting to EVP analysis electro-magnetic spectrum. All in search of a possible answer to the question of why certain places we are inhospitable, accidents, and affect our practice space. Indeed, psicogeofísica not psychogeography.
Roughly speaking, the proposal puts the willies more than one way. If you find yourself in that city at that time, no doubt it promises to be a fascinating experience.
"The London Psychogeophysics Summit Proposes an intense week-long, city-wide series of walks, fieldtrips, river drifts, open workshops and discussions exploring the novel interdisciplinary frame of psychogeophysics, colliding psychogeographics with earth science measurements and study (fictions of forensics and geophysical archaeology).
Open events include practical workshops in building simple geophysical measurement devices from scrap materials, fieldtrips for study and long-term use of such devices in the city, measurement and mapping of physical and geophysical data during city-wide walks, deployment of strategic underground networks, fusion of fiction, derive and signal excursion, studies of river signal ecologies alongside short lectures and discussions of broad, interdisciplinary psychogeophysical themes.
Partners include SPACE Media Arts, openmute.org and HTTP gallery/Furtherfield.
Participants include BITNIK, Alejo Duque, Kathrin Guenter, Graham Harwood, Martin Howse, Ryan Jordan, Petr Kazil, Jonathan Kemp, Martin Kuentz, Tom McCarthy (tbc), Christian Nold, Eleonora Oreggia, Nick Papadimitriou (tbc), John Rogers (tbc), Karen Russo, Gordan Savicic, Suzanne Treister, Danja Vasiliev, Wilfried HJB Bourdin.
The Summit will take place from 2nd August to the 7th of August with events at SPACE and daily walks and river drifts Scattered across London. An evening of presentations and lectures will Happen at HTTP at 7PM, Thursday 5th and a large open air event will take place on Saturday 7th August. "
