[Microsound-announce] Pedestrian Culture

[Glenn Bach]

Not exactly microsound, but I know there are some of you out there who 
may be interested in this:

"Walk, Observe, Reflect, Report."  With that motto, The Center for the 
Study of Pedestrian Culture seeks to promote the act of walking and the 
creative research and activities that result.  The Center's website 
(http://www.pedestrianculture.com) is an online portal of resources on 
walking-related cultural and creative activities, with bibliography, 
links, articles and interviews, and various walking-based creative 
projects. There is also a section, "Data," where place-based information 
is available for downloading/remixing/seeding under a Creative Commons 
license.

The website, still a work-in-progress, will grow and develop as we add 
new participants and contributors.  Perhaps a collaborative wiki might 
emerge down the road.  Until then, I will review contributions of 
projects, bibliographic entries, artist statements, manifestos, reviews, 
and other content.

I would like to invite you to join the Pedestrian Culture listserv 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pedestrianculture) to engage in 
discussion about walking and related topics: place, landscape studies, 
mapping, psychogeography, soundwalks, field recording, sound art, 
acoustic ecology, soundscapes, history of walking, flaneur culture, 
walking in literature and the arts, locative media, urban studies, New 
Urbanism, walkable communities, pedestrian safety, street photography, 
placeblogs, etc.

Please visit the links below, and I hope to see you at Pedestrian Culture.

Thanks,

Glenn Bach
