dc.description.abstract | Walking involves aligning, recalibrating, and interacting with the
environment. Growing research in the humanities and social sciences
recognises walking as an embodied practice that situates humans in the
nonhuman realm, and is indicative of how our mobilities connect with larger
socio-cultural and environmental systems. The ‘Land Art’ movement used
walking interventions that respond to environmental elements, however
many of these artworks focus on the individual human perspective,
disregarding nonhuman actions that also exist in each site. Focusing on the
act of walking through forests and parks in Finland and Australia, this paper
examines creative practices of ‘surveying’ that foreground more-than-human
movements. I discuss site-specific artworks and experiments that respond to
sites frequently walked over, to create new modes of encounter that alters
anthropocentric perceptions of walking practices. Measuring movements in
the field, through appropriating formal practices of surveying, assists in
understanding how human action is positioned within broader ecologies and
global systems of measure. | |
