Psychogeographical mapping of coincidence in Leeds and Dortmund.
Drifting through superimposed narratives of two cities at once.
Navigate the fictional third city by walking around Leeds. See Leeds-Dortmund rewritten via a shared narrative of coincidence and conjecture, audible and visible at certain points through virtual windows. Observe the effects of superimposed geographical setting on the mood and behaviour of yourself and your fellow flaneurs. Discuss. Debate. Derive.
This event is an experiment in Unitary Urbanism: "the combined use of art and technology leading to the integrated construction of an environment dynamically linked to behavioural experiments." * Be prepared. Pack personal baggage carefully.
* Definitions, Internationale Situationniste #1, 1958
