Here are the collected paths of participants in Amsterdam, NL from the Spaces & Flows Conference on 11.22.13. Thanks to everyone who took the time to walk. The group was from nations all over the world, and from a variety of disciplines: architects, urban planners, designers, artists, and theorists. I really enjoyed the thoughtful and challenging questions during my session and it was great to see everyone engage in the project from the different perspectives of their research. </div>

Walking in Amsterdam is obviously controlled by canals and bridges. It started raining in the middle of the walk and I am sure that this affected some of the walks in interesting ways. Some said that they stuck with familiar pathways, others looked for a coffee shop to duck into. Several people took the opportunity to reach a green space such as the zoo or a park. </div>

Starting in front of PS1 in Long Island City, we walked for 30
minutes on Saturday 9.21.13 starting at 4:30 pm. Thanks to <a href="http://elpapermagazine.com/">El Paper Magazine</a> and <a href="http://www.localproject.org/">Local Project</a>!<br />
<br />
I think it's interesting how the grid imposes itself on the paths, but the diagonals cut across that pattern. From the conversations I had with people, various factors influenced their walks from the wind (it was intense) to avoiding where they worked. One participant added rules to the project, following the color red through the streets. Check out Richard Alomar's amazing sketch blog here: <a href="http://nycsketch.blogspot.com/">http://nycsketch.blogspot.com/</a><br />

I was invited to participate in an exhibition at <a href="http://cpatino.fundacionpatino.org/">Fundacion Simon I. Patino</a> in Santa Cruz, Bolivia by <a href="http://www.nataliagonzalezrequena.com/">Natalia Gonzalez Requena</a> and <a href="http://philhessler.com/home.html">Phil Hessler</a>. The show was called <i>Delineadores</i>,
and we all decided to make site-specific work for the show. It was an
amazing experience. <br />

The city is divided up in circular Anillos, or
rings. There are at least 6 inner anillos. I thought this was
interesting coming from DC where the beltway surrounds the city. I
decided to make this a part of the walking project. I made the limits of
the walk the first anillo, which worked out well since Patino is in the
center of the city. Residents
of Santa Cruz met at Fundacion Simon I. Patino and picked up maps. We
walked for an hour around sunset. <br />
<br />
I took the abstract lines of the collected paths and made a wall drawing
with tape collected from local shops. Some of the tapes were shiny and
caught the light of passing cars. This was in front of a window on a
busy street. <br />

11 people gathered at the Jatiwangi Art Factory on July 30th, 2011.
They walked through the small village of Jatiwangi for one hour,
thinking of their paths as drawings. Thanks to everyone who came out to
participate!<br />
<br />
This was the first time I have made a
drawing with a group in a more rural setting. I think it is interesting
how the lines are much more varied and erratic because there are small
alleys and passageways everywhere. The aerial view shows that the houses
developed without a city plan. This area is known for producing the
ceramic roof tiles that most Indonesian houses utilize. These tiles are
used all over the village: to construct walls, for walkways, and for
ornamentation. <br />
<i><br />
Jatiwangi Art Factory</i> is located in the center of the village, and
is housed in a roof tile factory. Arief Yudi and a group of 38 artists,
musicians, designers, video and producers have created a strong art
residency and art production space that focuses on interaction with the
community. They still run a ceramic shop and produce musical instruments
and record interesting percussion music. The have an independent radio
station in the back yard as well!<br />

<br />
We met in the
gallery space and discussed the project. Then they walked for an hour.
One participant said that this was the first time he had walked through
Jatiwangi village. Most people use motorcycles to get around. <br />
<br />
The
next day I ran a workshop on 'Experimental Drawing' and we created a
series of process works. It was great to interact with artists and
musicians on this level. Even though we spoke different languages, we
were able to communicate through art making, and they poured a lot of
energy into their artwork. <br />
<br />
Thanks to Jatiwangi Art
Factory for hosting me! It was great to see a group of artists so
motivated to link their artwork with the community.<br />

13 people gathered at Civilian Art Projects, on 7th Street NW in Washington, DC on July 9th, 2011 and walked for 30 minutes to create this drawing. Armed with a map and a marker, participants were asked to think of their path as a drawing. Thanks to all who helped out.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">In April I traveled down to Miami to collaborate with KC Culver, professor of English at the University of Miami. We created a project that combined the <i>Walking as Drawing</i> project with poetry. The event was hosted at </span></b><i>ArtSeen</i>, a gallery in the Wynwood area as a part of the O'Miami Festival.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> A group people gathered and we talked to them about the concept of the derive, which is when "one or more persons during a certain period drop their relations, their work and leisure activities, and all their other usual motives for movement and action, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there."

There were so many interesting people, projects, and ideas swirling around the Barney Building. <br />

Here is the initial video edit from the submissions I received so far. If you are interested in participating in the project, please feel free to send me your drawings! It would be interesting if this continued to grow and change over time:<br />

The 'Walking as Drawing' project was created at the Conflux Festival(http://confluxfestival.org/) on October 9th, 2010. Participants were asked to walk for 30 minutes anywhere within a 5 block radius. They tracked their walks with GPS devices or drew them on maps given out at the festival. 30 minutes was condensed into a one-minute animated drawing.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="schedule_list description"><span style="font-size: small;">This project will involve participants in a mapping excursion that will result a collective time-based drawing. Using the boundary of Conflux as a limitation, walk anywhere within the contained space for exactly 30 minutes, thinking of your path as a drawn line. When time is up, take a picture of where you ended up. Pathways will be recorded with gps units, or transcribed using Google's pedometer:(http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/). The tracks can be emailed or given directly to me (bfriebele@gmail.com). These walks will be color coded and animated so that the paths form a time-based collaborative drawing through the streets of New York. The animation will be sped up to show 30 minutes of walking in 3 minutes time, and will be uploaded to the project website for viewing. The photographs will be presented at the end of the video.</span></span></span><br />
