Another link post, with a city theme. I have a fascination with the way people interact with the city and public spaces, probably a hang over of my term studying Psychogeography at ECA.

The Untergunther, the restoration section of les UX (a secret French organisation the explores, uses and improves bits of hidden Paris) have restored the Panthéon

i love the urban exploration idea. tunnels, rooftops, being where you're not supposed to/where other people aren't, etc.

I just did a little research and there is no rule of trespass in Scotland! Urban Exploration is totally legal here!

Yup--a mate of mine, rpgactionfigure, has done some astounding stuff--although, sadly, I've just noticed all urban exploration posts are f-locked. His flickr is here which has some, though not near everything.

Ah yeah. I should have known Malcolm'd be into that stuff with the China Mieville obsession.

The part that simply kills me is that the French Government is trying to take them to court for upgrading parts of the city. The political mind is a strange and frightening thing...

And lost after 20 minutes. All is as it should be.

Good stuff - I'm fascinated by psychogeography. :)

Me too! Best thing I was actually taught about at art college. There's a load of stuff tagged on my delicious, although the links are sometimes tenuous and only make sense in my head. http://del.icio.us/Celiaka/psychogeography

I want to join les UX! Hmm, perhaps there's a London equivalent... I like Terminus, I wonder if the stalkers are like the daemons from His Dark Materials?
