DÉRIVE DATA
DÉRIVE DATA
The Drift or Dérive is one of the basic situationist practices advocated by French philosopher Guy Debord and others. It’s a technique of “rapid passage through varied ambiences”. Dérives involve playful-constructive behaviour and an awareness of psychogeographical effects and are thus quite different from the classic notions of journey or stroll. The coloured areas represent “vortexes that strongly discourage entry into or exit from certain zones”. The red arrows mark the flow of settlement and movement through the space. This process of collecting information provides psychogeography with an abundance of data.
The following data was collected over the course of 5 years (2018-2022).
