Presentations explore the rhythms and sensations of bicycle and bus travel, the sensual rhythms of specific locales, the rhythms of urban advertising and attempts to install slower rhythms in place. 31st January: Seminar Five: Senses in transition: mobility in the city looks at the various ways in which technologies and modes of moving through the city produce particular sensual experiences.
