"Psychogeography is a practice that rediscovers the physical
city through the moods and atmospheres that act upon the individual.
Perhaps the most prominent characteristic of psychogeography is the
activity of walking. The act of walking is an urban affair, and in
cities that are increasingly hostile to pedestrians, walking tends to
become a subversive act.
The psychogeographer is a “non-scientific researcher” who encounters
the urban landscape through aimless drifting, experiencing the effects
of geographical settings ignored by city maps, and often documenting
these processes using film, photography, script writing, or tape. In
this way, the wanderer becomes alert to the metaphors, visual rhymes,
coincidences, analogies, and changing moods of the street."
