Description: paths into urban journey space
Comments: "The urban traveler is too often concerned only with destination, treating the journey itself as secondary." Emmet makes a good point. Think about it – you need to get from point A to point B and decide to listen to some of your favorite tunes on the way. Focused on getting there while "receding into the private world afforded by headphones and habitual music," you miss out on much of what the urban environment has to offer, frankly because you're not paying attention to it. What if you used your iPod (or any device with similar capability) to receive random audio instructions (such as "turn left, then turn right" or "take the second next left") instead? The same technology that you use to accomplish a feeling of control over your environment can also be used as a means to relinquish that control to the environment itself. End result? You interact with the urban space instead of intentionally closing it out. Besides a great concept, the photos (or visual recordings) taken by various walkers in different cities are a treat.
