Walking in quarantine:  individual task

Walking in quarantine:  individual task 

# data[].attributes.body
I try to document my walk at home during the pandemic. In the  whole experiment, I try to discover my pattern of daily routine by trimming it into every row of the pixel(1080 rows) to construct a new virtual walk experience .

# data[].attributes.body
I tried to determine 100 square meters with stones in a meadow.
But then I had to look for them to find my 100 square meters again. Because I lost track of the stones.
So I realised how big and small at the same time 100 square meters can be.
I searched and searched, but could not find 4 stones in 100 square meters anymore.
They were gone.
Lost in the grass.

walking routine on top of the building while walking in the streets was restricted

# data[].attributes.body
Walk during the second lockdown restriction in London. We follow the rules to maintain social distance. In this experiment, I record my only daily routine- go for a 5mins-distance bubble tea shop to buy a drink become my only luxury time in a day.

Walking on a path through which I usually bike, I was at a considerably slower pace. Hence my observation and comprehension of the street were deeper than otherwise. Walking without purpose on the landscape of a rather ordinary street, I decided to interact with it in a playful and immersive manner through the means of a game.

I usually played this game ‘connection’ with words as a child but I decided to reiterate it using images instead. The process included capturing an image and then using the image as inspiration for the next image. I followed this process throughout  my walk.

I wonder about the need to have some purpose or association that we often strive for while performing an activity. In this context, it was the act of looking through a phone to find cues on the street. An act of following a journey completely immersed into the screen contributed to a very different experience of the environment around me. Almost as if I was absent from the street.

On reflecting, after our collective session, I realized when Pat suggested new ways of documenting this collection, I jumped back to my thoughts while walking. During the walk, I felt the instinct to pick up some of these objects for documentation. But given the current scenario, my mild paranoia about touching abandoned objects and wondering where they would have been stopped me from performing this action.

I have tried again and again to go out of my front door.
Without the intension of leaving the apartment or building.

We will have half an hour for experimental exploration of simultaneous communication while walking.

Wild in the City: simultaneous zoom call

# data[].attributes.body
10 first minutes: simultaneous zoom call, if possible with video and sound on: we do this “thinking out loud” of memories that come up while walking or observations or whatever happens.

Wild in the City: walking sound thoughts

# data[].attributes.body
This video connects Sound communication of the group with my personal interpretation and imagination after I listened to the sounds over and over again.

10 minutes of sound-association-communication via audio (only sound, no pictures) while we were walking together. Blings of whatsapp when playing the sounds again in the chat.

# data[].attributes.body
We will be assigned a different role in the chat: people can only add/ delete/ respond to the previous message in the Whatsapp chat.

Can only delete the image: Pat, Nayon
Can only upload the image: Anne
Can only respond to the previous image: Theresa

Walking Lab Event: Walk in Progress 15.12.2020

# data[].attributes.body
Walk-In Progress Lab explores a walking laboratory through ‘live walking’ as an experimental way of collaborating, testifying, and challenging the invisible boundary while reflecting on walking as the process of making, political discourse, and a measure of collective articulation.

I feel limited and unable to participate. The cold is attacking my cell phone, the data volume is used up. It's the end of the month and I've attended too many zoom meetings on the go. Over the weekend I ignore it, the evening before I write you a message. I will not participate. To withdraw, to make me incapacitatly, and refer to external circumstances to justify myself.

9 a.m. (German time). I see the first one appearson the screen. Put my coat on, log in. I close the door, cross the back yard, through the front building. Open the front door. Open the front door. The front door. I am no longer connected. Disappointed not even to have a look outside. Turn around. Back through the house, the back yard, stay in front of my door. The connection is sought, I'm waiting. Wait, you reappear. I see you running. So many places and I stay. In the back yard that I live in. I'm connected again. I walk through the back yard, faster this time, through the front building, pick up the doorknob, and open it. It’s cold, noisy, clock tower, people, trams, people, sun, swimming pool. The connection loosens. I will turn back, stand in front of my apartment door, wait, connect. See you running, while staying. I run through the back yard, the front building, open the front door, run to the left, towards the intersection. I want to see around the corner. Take you around the corner. No Connection. Run back, look for WiFi, run to the front door again. To the left, in front of the intersection. Look around the corner. Look around the corner. Stand still. You see it too?I am relieved. Walk, slowly, step by step. About 20 steps. Then I turn back. Slower this time. I go to my apartment. This time it takes longer to connect. I'm waiting. Run forward to the door. Right, run slightly downhill. To the next crossroad. Look to the right. Do you see it? I think. But no, I lost you guys. Take you with me, I think. In the recordings I can't find what I wanted to show you.

words that came to our minds after the command walk experience 

# data[].attributes.body
"when you are now connected, pick up your cell phone with this hand, which normally wouldn’t hold it.
film the other hand.
show us your hand, while leaving your flat, grab the door, show us your hand.
what is outside the frame that we can’t  see?
can you describe the outside of the door with your words and hold the camera as calm as possible on your hand, while feeling the doorknob?
open the door! do you feel the air ? in your face, on your hand, in your eyes ?

“Turn around and head back to your place “

"how to you feel with „going back? will you walk faster, when to know the place, were you are going to ? when there is a purpose?
give yourself time.
focus the door, were you will enter. film your hand again, grab the doorknob
feel it, feel the material, how do you feel?
open your door.
film your hand as close as it is possible, film it, till you enter your place"

“The command walk now is over, 10 Minutes of break until we see each other on zoom again”
