Space, London. 2010
http://www.psychogeophysics.org/
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,
HJB Bourdin.
The Summit will take place from 2nd August to the 7th of August with
daily/evening events at SPACE and 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.

Théorie de la Dérive
G.-E. Debord in Internationa le Situationniste n° 2, décembre 1958
procédés situationnistes:
dérive, technique du passage à travers des ambiances variées,
indissolublement lié à la reconnaissance d'effets de nature psychogéographique,
à l'affirmation d'un comportement ludique-constructif,
oppose aux notions classiques de voyage et de promenade.
du point de vue de la dérive il existe un point fixe
la pensée psychogéographique cest ecologique et social
Le hasard joue un rôle dans la dérive, dans l'observation psychogéographique
champ spatial de la dérive est: clima / l'étude d'un terrain /
dépaysement personnel
