Some great suggestions- thank you - please keep them coming

 

While thinking about words I began to wonder why words beginning with D seemed so relevant to walking art

 

Dawdle

Drift

Derive

Drag 

Dribble

Dwell

Dash

 

I have a definition for the word ‘caddy’ - one who carries a heavy bag for another who is intent on spoiling a walk

Here below are three terms, each describe a different practical processes undertaken while walking in the outside environment. 

 

Trafitti:A drawing made on an outside environment

Trafitti combines the word Graffiti: to inscribe a surface, 

Trace (which itself combines the meanings track, to make ones way, and) to draw, 

and Traffic: the passage of people or vehicles in transit, or the conveyance of messages or data through a communications system. 

 

Driftsinging

Drawing with (vocal) sound in response to place while passing through place. 

Driftsinging borrows from the Situationist Drift, and Baudelaire’s flâneur.

Driftsinging also relates to the process of ‘Sounding,’ the sonic measuring of distance and depth that locates position in place and ‘Echo Location’, the examination of place through sonic reflection and refraction, resonance and echo.    

 

(M.Foa Sounding Out:Performance drawing in response to the outside environment, PhD thesis UAL 2011. P.137. 

http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/5455/ 

 

V.O.N.A.R. :  Vocal Orientation And Navigation 

Through develop and practice of Driftsinging, V.O.N.A.R was identified (by Leon Barker and Maryclare Foa). 

 

Many thanks

As a start 

 

Sole trader: interested in walking their socks (and shoes off) and at the end of the journey tries to swap for another, brand new or slightly used pair.

 

All the best,

Hi Andrew,   

Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. 

 

What a wonderful idea! I hope this is the kind of contribution you are looking for.

 

domambulate / dɒmæmbjʊleɪt/ v. [L domus of home, ambulare to walk, move about.] 1 Wander or pace about one's residence during daylight hours and/or at night. Can be indicative of excessive mental activity. 

 

Did i just invent a new word?

 

Best wishes,

David

Happy Friday! 

 

Can we walking artists pull together a dictionary or glossary of walking art?

 

I’m guessing that those with PhDs on the topic may already have such a thing and can give us a springboard for a starter.

 

Happy to collate off list although I think interactions across the list will be a worthy catalyst and memory jogger 

 

Definitions limited to 200 characters so we could Tweet them at some point to broaden interest in walking art 

 

Also looking for expressions/idioms etc linked to walking e.g. down at heel

 

I’m trying out ‘shuffle’ as my word eg ‘Largactyl shuffle’ a walk to raise awareness of mental health issues 

 

Looking forward to my inbox filling up

 

Best  Andrew
