A brief description of Psychogeography

12 Artists, 6 photographers and 6 videographers, walk a path through three terrains (Sulfur Mountain, Banff Art Centre, City of Banff) collecting any digital images. The path was a randomly generated algorithm that directed the team on when to turn and how far to travel. The team then pooled all of the photos for an Installation at the Banff Art Centre.

The visitor to the installation descended a large Silo style spiral staircase painted with white concrete. At each level the viewer is presented with a bay of Pictures from either the Mountain, Centre or Town of Banff. The artists used overall color schemes to choose the image type that would be placed on the wall. My bays were 3 (Fuzzy) and 6(Disturbed).

A second team using Video Equipment and helmed by Jeremiah Hundley created 3 clips and produced the sound to reflect up the concrete walls of the staircase. Those video are available at Jeremiah's website under the Film and Video tab.
