Dérive by Alex Rowe

June 27th, 2012 10:47 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.

Went on a dérive following a recent relocation in the city.
I chose a point of interest, and let whatever signs we found drive us around.

The first interesting detail...
A sign pointed us left.
Saw this had been hung on a tree along the way.
Speaking of trees...
Which took us here.
Hydration stop.
Books!
..... And this.
Apparently awesome sandwiches. We shall see.....
Awesome sandwiches confirmed.
Alleyway to something?
There it is again.
Investigating local park stop.

Abandoned shed?
Right.
Still work like a charm.
Open? Investigation!
... So we did.
Fancy.
Tiny man!

I like your idea of letting signs lead the way.
