ONE OH EIGHT

A pair of geolocated audio dramas set on the 108 bus routes in London and Cape Town.

The listener downloads the app which triggers the audio drama to play on their phone

as they sit on the bus heading along their city’s 108 route…

…transporting the London listener – in their mind’s ear – to Cape Town.

And the Cape Town listener to London.


The roundtable will be followed by a Q&A and drinks.

The event will take place on the Goldsmiths campus in LG02 of the Professor Stuart Hall building and online – click here to join event at 5pm.

The Walking Cure

The mystery of Alex Mann: Part crime reenactment.  Part sensory safari. Wholly unreliable guided walk for two people.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
