just in case
Superstition impacting walking, this is a slight impact but an impact.. possibly impact is the wrong word maybe too intense for this but to be quite honest iv never been good with words, relatively small vocabulary, it gets the message across
people will recalculate their footing while walking because according to superstition you will break your back.. or your mothers back
uh ok so we created a way to explain mysterious events that happened but we did not have nearly as much scientific development as we do today... we have a lot more knowledge today than we did centuries ago
so why do we still have superstition.. because, just in case
... just in case I will avoid the cracks

Walking and Mazes, exploring this topic should be interesting, do mazes have a specific strategy or pattern to follow? what is a maze and what is a labyrinth?

audio walk
Sept. 15th
Experiencing A Large Slow River (2000). An audio walk created by artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller. This audio walk takes you on a journey through the Oakville Garlioch Gardens (Oakville Gallery, ON. Canada). Truly a beautiful piece, if you have the opportunity to experience it please please do not hesitate in taking it. There were a few times where i caught myself looking around to see what i was hearing on the audio recording, the recording was calming and had an odd spiritual sense to it. I loved when the audio recording would mention the crashing of waves and you could hear them but when looking on the lake it happened to be a calm day, it really let you use your imagination and visualize the waves, this was the same for the colours of the flowers, they were different from in the recording which allowed you to visualize the change in the gardens. Beautiful piece.

walking with no direction while taking video clips of places, things that grabbed my attention, reminded me of things, compiled into a video, edited to appear to be the remembering of information stored in the subconscious mind of a walk
side thought regarding subconscious- learning to use your subconscious mind? Control
