psychogeography project





It's bit hard to digest the concept of psychogeography for me. For last 2 weeks, bothered by flu, sat on the sofa surfing on internet using the technique of the derive.
Sitting, reading on internet about psychogeography and thinking without depth.
The derive is the concept of an aimless walk, probably through city streets, that follows the whim of the moment, then yes, I do most of time even with my flatfoot.
Seoul wasn't perfect place to do it, but growing up in the forest of apartments always got me feel weird walking down the streets surrounded by the houses.
Tokyo was good place to walk in the daytime, quite scary in the night time, however finding shrine and a big tree in the middle of nowhere was exciting.
Barcelona, loved exploring, then two teenager boys took my bag and ran away. End of the story.
London, I used to walk a lot, or take a random bus to go nowhere.

I get more confused writing this. Where am I?
