Updating the Situationist’s eponymous concept, Psychogeographies asks its artists to consider how urban and virtual spaces ought to be reimagined against a backdrop of market-driven surveillance technologies.

With the advent of algorithmic feedback loops and the corporate ideal of Smartness, the divide between digital and material is increasingly tenuous.

Urban space
—synchronized, mundane, and extractive—
has become another method of capture.
Caught in the interplay of communicative surfaces,
we move and labor within a captive landscape.

Psychogeography affords a conception of embodied space that moves towards a disassembling of the social.

Space is performed-- it does not pre-exist.

One creates a psychogeographic map by
abstracting the given,
subverting its currents,
eroding fixed points and hierarchical vortexes.

A practitioner doesn’t just proliferate dead zones: they reintroduce new points of entry.
