Here’s June’s
psychogeography-related news. I hope there is something of interest for you
here. Thanks for reading.
Psychogeography
The Fourth World Congress of Psychogeography is convening
again in September, please click here for the up-to-date
info (I apologise for missing the call date). Here’s a 2020 article in FAD
Magazine about the Greek-American artist Gerasimos Floratos and his
psychogeographical renderings exhibited at that time. And this BBC article looks at the art of ‘drain spotting’.
Cartography
This super online resource, from Stanford Libraries in the
US, is about working
with historical maps online. It includes geo-referencing, overlaying and
exporting and comes in the form of a tutorial.
Architecture
The Biennale Architecttura 2021 is now on. Here’s the
official website. It’s on till November 2021 in Venice. I appreciate we can’t
necessarily travel, but there looks like lots of useful links on there, and
there may be online talks. This article in ArchDaily
looks at the threat of demolition in regard to the brutalist Nagakin
Capsule Tower in Tokyo. And, this website looks at 3D
printed architecture.
Other
This is an interesting article in The
Conversation about a farmer who moved a rock and accidentally changed a
national border. And, finally, in The
Guardian there is an article about some sewage works in Edinburgh: it's about exploring local spaces during lockdown.
