General interests as at 23.10.12

I would like to look at how ideas of tangible and intangible histories and cultural 'matierals' can be considered, interrogated, and reimagined, through strategies other than typical museum and/or collection-related, authorative positions. I'm particularly interested in ideas of interactivity and mobility.

... elaboration as keyword/terms

  • intangible / tangible
  • material / immaterial
  • public space
  • 'domains'
  • culture / history / heritage

As a starting point I've done some pencil drawings. They are based on Walking Tours of German cities, from the Lonely Planet guide book series. Below are Weimar, Erfurt and Dresden. The line follows the route of the Walking Tour and all other details are absent. These are simply visual exercises in thinking ... I'm interested in the idea of directing, and being directed through space.
