Mapping






The next step was to take the trajectories of each individual's journey and emboss them onto a paper that represented the whole of London. The idea was that once someone could visualise the distance they covered in a week, as well as in comparison to others, they may be encouraged to travel more or perhaps reflect on the routes they have chosen to take. 

Taken from 'The Situationist City' by Simon Sadler:

Rather than float above the city as some sort of omnipotent, instantaneous, disembodied, all possessing eye, situationist cartography admitted that its overview of the city was reconstructed in the imagination, piecing together an experience of space that was actually terrestrial, fragmented, subjective, temporal and cultural.
