Walking Exercise

A quck brief to what we had to do.

Firstly read this essay called ‘Walking a Bill’ which is uploaded to MyUCA as a pdf in Unit Reading.

 Using a simple psychogeographical technique for exploring the streets of Farnham and learning about the role of chance and geography in art. Each student can create a route either by sketching their name or another relevant word, or by using another random method, out on a street map of Farnham (or any other rural or urban area). They will then walk this route. They are encouraged to document the route with a combination of stills, camera phone video, simple sound recording and note-taking. The final output will be either all one media or a mix of photography, video, sound and text generated during the walk presented within your UCA research blog. The final work HAS to draw out a narrative, either real or imaginary, from the random information created by each particular route. The final works will be presented on 10th October.


Firstly i took a map of farnham and drew my name in a continues line on the map.
 













the writing looks a bit weird but Still worked.

wrote it in note form

i decided to this this walk using light painting method as it would add more depth to this walk/journey starting from the bottom picture going up.

this was my quest for my lost wallet many challenges stood in my way but i had a tourch which of course helped. this could have been realistic or imgainary i went for the imaginary approach.
