Full Description:: Three days of experimental walks have been designed to create conditions that enable thinking, observing and theorising of being with matter, that is, being in the world, enable knowing in and through the world. The intention is to explore how we can further open our capacity to walk with data through sensory ethnographic attention to corporeality, embodiment and emplacement.
