Exercise: How do hands feel in this space?

Resources:

Rules:

  1. Introduction

    1. Unify the collective body: all human bodies touch.

    2. Spread the body into parts, with human bodies spreading separately in the space (you have 3 minutes to walk around and find a space that interests you)

    3. Go to OmeClone on your phone. Agree to T&Cs. Click 'Chat with Stranger'.

  2. An encounter

    1. You will be matched with one of the other participants. (This may take up to 1 minute. In this time, try to focus on your body and the space.

    2. The first line sent between you must be: "How do [noun] [verb] in this space?". For example, "How do hands feel in this space?" or "How does joy endure in this space?"

    3. In the conversation, try to imagine be attentive to your body, the space, the other's body. You may not identify yourself.

    4. At some point, you can swap roles and the other will ask "How do [noun] [verb] in this space?"

    5. After around 3 minutes, you will bring the conversation to an end. You must finish with the line: "Thank you for sharing your space. I'm entering into another space."

    6. Press "new"

  3. Repeat encounters until the time is up. When the time is up, return to the first space where the rest of our body will be waiting to reunify.

Exercise: Data Walk

Apps for recording data

There are apps that allow you to track your walk while adding photos, videos, sound files or notes. In general, there are more and higher quality GPS apps for Android mobiles. I recommend OSMAnd for Android users and GPXTracker (optionally combined with GeotagPhotosTagger) for iOS.

App Platform Multimedia waypoints
OSMAnd Android and iOS, but with limitations on iOS ✔️ on Android
GPXTracker iOS ❌
OpenGPSTrackker Android and iOS ❌

OSMAnd

  • Download OSMAnd app to your mobile. It is available for Android and iOS
  • For Android, if you want to add multimedia: Enable the audio/video notes plugin https://osmand.net/features/audio-video-notes-plugin
  • Press record, do the walk. Add photos, audio notes or videos as you go, they will be linked to the map.
  • When you finish press 'Stop'. Your walk will be saved to your phone
  • You can access the saved file in My Places > Tracks. From here, you can view the walk within the app in the 'Visible' folder
  • Here, you can also see the folder called 'Rec'. Opening it, you will see any walk you have done. You can use 'Share' to get it onto your computer. Note for iOS users: OSMAnd are planning to add the audio/video notes plugin to the iOS app in 2022.

GPXTracker

You can add and name waypoints.

Datawalking Apps

Three minimalist apps for data walking (https://datawalking.com/apps.html). They output data as a csv, making it particularly easy to play with after. They also work in the browser so they work across operating systems.

Extras

GeotagPhotosTagger

If you want to use photos and have an iphone, you can use GeotagPhotosTagger to combine the photos with the gpx file. This means you can combine photos from a dSLR to the walk.

Any app (or paper)

Can use any app and then join the data to the gpx after with either the geocode or, more easily a timestamp. [Add Python code to automate this]
