,10:00 - Patrick S. Ford & Dr. Nina Yiu Lai Lei - ‘Experience Mapping’
Join Patrick and Nina in creating an experience map of this year’s 4WCoP event. While you are walking between activities, or walking as part of a scheduled event, take one or two photos, record the time it was taken, note down what activity is brought to mind at that moment (meditative or playful) and send it to the artists. All submitted data will be combined into a graphic map that represents the collective experience as a virtual location. It will be presented at the end of the Congress in the GAME OVER! session and later at https://www.patricksford.com/experience-mapping. Come along to this introductory session find out more.

10:30 - Simon Cole - 'Blake to Benjamin: Playing Out Rhizomatic Hunches on the Edge of Europe.'
A monument to a man long dead, in an obscure railway town on the Franco-Spanish border: how interesting could that be? Struck by synchronicity, Simon Cole set out to recreate Walter Benjamin’s last journey, a lonely day-hike over the Pyrenees from France to Spain. Cole sought out the monument marking the writer’s tragic death: a memorial that is itself a portal. Join him in following the psychogeographical breadcrumbs, tracing the rhizome's dense network of interconnecting nodes and finishing up by the Mediterranean Sea.
