Walk
Name: Psycho
Geography – An ephemeral view of Saskatoon’s Urban Fabric
Walk
Leader(s): Shawn Storry
Description
of Walk leader(s) and/or why you are leading this walk (optional):
The built environment directly affects
people, and is perceived differently by every individual. Individual experiences of public spaces are
defined by race, ethnicity, age, gender, how the individual is dressed, and
what a person is thinking. These
subjective demographics all contribute to the experience of that particular
individual. The idea of how the city can
affect a person fascinates me. Psychogeography
is another way to have the city affect an individual ultimately altering the
way the city can be perceived. The term is
a mid-century modern concept becoming more commonly identified as the sub-genre
situationist movement. Situationists
provide an alternate view, concept, and way to move throughout the city –
sometimes referred to as wayfinding.
