What is Psychogeography

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=psychogeography

“Psychogeography is the study of the effects of geographical

settings, consciously managed or not, acting directly on the mood and

behaviour of the individual the practice of exploring the urban environment

while being led by curiosity and a paused sense of time and place.”

OUR VERY OWN AGENDA

• Life revolves around us.

• For the most part nobody outside of our

bubble exists.

• Our environment will always be the same

(Nature/Surroundings) – Ever-changing.

• Neglecting our environment is ok?

The Focus

For my project I wanted to focus o the essence of what I thought was most

important about Psychogeography ad derive.

Zeroing in on the ambience of a place.

Ambience: The special atmosphere or mood created by a particular

environment: "The noir ambience is dominated by low-key lighting . . . and

deep shadows, creating feelings of disorientation, loneliness and

entrapment" (UCLA Film/TV Archive). (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ambiance)

I combined the knowledge of places I see o my daily commute ad

with places I've heard of while being at DMU.

Determining the characteristics of the location ad the dialogue

between location ad the mid.
