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.

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,

Greetings from Melbourne, Australia.

Best wishes,

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
