Strategy

For my first Drift, I will be using Algorithmic Walking. (Take third right, second left, third right, repeat) I became most intrigued by this strategy after reading Joseph Hart's, "A New Way of Walking". I very much appreciate the concept of "psychogeography", " a slightly stuffy term that's been applied to a whole toy box full of playful, inventive strategies for exploring cities. Psychogeography includes just about anything that takes pedestrians off their predictable paths and jolts them into a new awareness of the urban landscape." (Hart) I immediately identified with the attempt to see my environment in a way I have not before. I have lived in Milwaukee since birth, and am in love with it as my home. I think it is a city that has so much to offer and to understand. As a teenage, I thought I knew most, to all there was to know about Milwaukee. I am now, however, learning new things about the city: community events, distinct cultural pockets and history. I plan to explore these characteristics more, and hopefully learn about a few new things along the way.
