| Ideally all psychogeographers would be idle flaneurs, able to wander the ventricles of the city on whim. Unfortunately most of us have some form of socio-economic commitment to attend to during the day. HOWEVER such commintments need not be a barrier to psychogeoraphy. Journeying into the city allows ample opportunity for experimental exploration. Do not allow yourself to become a robotic drone, following the same path every day but seize the chance to experience new horizons and indulge in a spot of Irrational Commuting. |
