Dérive by Tøm

January 4th, 2008 5:26 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Among the various situationist methods is the dérive [literally: 'drifting'], a technique of transient passage through varied ambiances. In a dérive one or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relations, their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.

One can dérive alone, but all indications are that the most fruitful numerical arrangement consists of several small groups of two or three people who have reached the same awakening of consciousness, since the cross-checking of these different groups' impressions makes it possible to arrive at objective conclusions.

The full text...

Undertake a dérive, and report your objective conclusions to your fellow players.

If you ask anyone who knows me, they'll say I'm not one for walking without reason, or walking in general. So my Dérive came from something with an objective. I set out to complete Green Space Urban Box Part 1, and after I had finished, I just started walking. After I realised I was wandering, I turned on my camera, and started videoing my journey.

I'm seldom found out and about without my Mp3 player, and today was no exception, if you want the full experience, I suggest you get onto some very legal music stores and download my tracklist:

Acid Drops (John Lydon)
Alternative Ulster (Stiff Little Fingers)
Attack (The Exploited)
Baggy Trousers (Madness)
Grimly Fiendish (The Damned)
Hangar 18 (Megadeth)


Sorry about the split clips, the original files were HOOG, so they're shortened too, I had a full video.

But how did it make you feel?

Cold, out of breath, and confused.
