urban exploration

as we wandered the city together and continued the ambles alone, we were able to let our intuitions guide us in an urban exploration. we discussed elements of the metropolitan landscape that had previously remained unnoticed.

LIGHT. MOVEMENT. SHADE. DECAY. SIGHTS. SOUNDS. SMELLS. EXPERIENCE.

the assignment[s] :

1. Revisit the walk we took and the images you're created. Do a drawing in plan of our journey and somehow correlate the perspectives/sketches you have done with your representation of your plan. [Myles, if you could pass on the gps locations you charted on your phone to everyone, that would be great] As you create the plan of our exploration, try to bring in some of the techniques we ousted in the site drawings. Think about color, light, texture, the style and size of the line, the significance of place, etc.

2. Allow yourself to wander [on a couple of other occasions] through your city/town/area of residence. This walk could be one you've done many times, a journey you've never experienced, a combination of the two or something else entirely. Regardless, try to pay attention to the little details and the sensual qualities of your surroundings. If you have been to any of these places before, this could be even more fascinating. There will be plenty of characteristics that you may never have noticed. Do another set of drawings for each, again relating plan, perspective, and experience.

3. The readings -- they will come soon.
