AudioGuide


AudioGuide is influenced by the legacy of psychogeography. It is a fictional layer above the real world to create absurd or surreal situations. The self guided audio tours use the Yahoo map and Google map software and a text to speech conversion of texts retrieved from Project Gutenberg to create walks through various cities. The search at Gutenberg has been directed by street names.

Psychogeography was defined in 1955 by Guy Debord as the "the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals." [..] Psychogeography includes just about anything that takes pedestrians off their predictable paths and jolts them into a new awareness of the urban landscape." (Wikipedia)
