Ally Standing  - Walking, Drifting, Playing: Psychogeographic games in the learning experience



In the mid 20th century, radical groups of European artists and activists proposed psychogeography - a type of playful and critical urban walking - as a way of disrupting modes of thought and life. This presentation explores how some of their techniques - such as the dérive and creative cartography - can be used within the context of design education today, both in a physical and virtual sense.


Ally Standing  is a Birmingham-based visual artist and lecturer, with an interdisciplinary practice exploring ideas surrounding the built environment. Psychogeography, post-war architecture, and public art are some of my main areas of interest. I see the city as a stage for learning; this is key to my practice, both in terms of my creative output and my teaching.
