This task seems to assume that the travelers/visitors/natives would be OK with receiving bum directions to a place, regardless of whether or not the intended destination is reached. I feel the spirit of the derive in this task, but I see it lost in the execution.
From the description of this task it would seem (this is speculation on my part) that the intention is to provide the unknown person a chance to explore a part of the city differently, not only by (possibly) ending up in a different place but also by navigating with different means, both of these fostered by your given information via maps/instructions/etc.
Is it your intent to inform these persons of this fact? How will you receive feedback on their experiences, how will you know if the information you gave them enriched/augmented/informed their experience of SF in a unique way that they are even aware of, or if it just utterly confused them to a point of muttering into generalization, "damn san franciscans"?
hmm, you have a good point there- where informing them of it would be like the new tourism products.
though I don't think you could 'easily' argue that most have a better experience being lost while trying to find a destination. i for one know many people who have a meltdown when they are 'lost'
so I guess this all boils down to the question we have both ended on, would anyone notice?
