Artists Who Walk

Walking is good. It's like running but with less of the help-I'm-dying. 

Janet Cardiff 

(Yes, I used her in my last journal. I saw an opportunity and I took it.)

Cardiff takes and records these walks, sometimes with others, and acts as the narrative voice. In doing this, she recreates not only sounds and/or vision, but also taste, smell and feeling for the viewer. 

Jeremy Wood

Traverse me

My Ghost 

In both of these pieces Wood has used GPS to map out locations. In My Ghost he makes us of digital mark making to track all of his journeys around London.

A walk with 1000 children from Berlin around the city. Questioning how walking in public space can be a form of public speech.
