Superimposed City Tours: The Leeds-Dortmund Project 

www.monoculartimes.co.uk/city-tours/index.shtml
<http://www.monoculartimes.co.uk/city-tours/index.shtml> 

an experiment in creative urban walking

Time:         Sunday 8th December, 1pm
Meet:         Leeds Railway Station (outside Coopers Bar)

Psychogeographical mapping of coincidence in Leeds and Dortmund.
Drifting through superimposed narratives of two cities at once. 

Navigate the fictional third city by walking around Leeds. See
Leeds-Dortmund rewritten via a shared narrative of coincidence and
conjecture, audible and visible at certain points through virtual
windows. Observe the effects of superimposed geographical setting on the
mood and behaviour of yourself and your fellow flaneurs. Discuss.
Debate. Derive.

This event is an experiment in Unitary Urbanism: "the combined use of
art and technology leading to the integrated construction of an
environment dynamically linked to behavioural experiments." * Be
prepared. Pack personal baggage carefully. 

* Definitions, Internationale Situationniste #1, 1958
