“Psychogeographic exploration" is a practice that rediscovers the physical city through the moods and atmospheres that act upon the individual.
Psychogeography is the experimental exploration of the environment and its impacts. It investigates the influence the geographic environment has on the perception and the behavior of the individual.”
Each participant begins from their place of residence, noting the time. The walk must be done entirely on foot, and the route should be improvised based on the attraction of certain streets or paths, while keeping the general direction of the endpoint in mind. each participant should record their impressions, any encounters with people or animals, as well as their observations about what they see along the way: the architecture, the inhabitants, the feelings experienced when passing through certain streets, by shops, or public squares.
At the end of the Psychogeographic walk, all the information gathered by each participant will be compiled. The aim is to create, for each participant, an individual Psychogeographicmap
