I started this project in 2005, at this point there are probably about 10 site-specific plaques across the state, and a hand full of random placements. They were featured in a very nice group exhibition International Waters (2006, curated by Soo Kim and Jessica Silverman). The show included work from some of my heroes Ed Ruscha, Nam June Paik, Archigram, and most importantly a map by the Situationist International, whom were a huge inspiration for this project.

PEDESTRIAN CONTEMPLATION

Untitled (Map for dérive, Los Angeles #1), 2008
decals on paper
8 x 10 in.

I put together this map with the intentions of using it to navigate a dérive through Los Angeles with it. Even though the map was designed with L.A. in mind, a British psychogeographer once recommended a dérive of Paris with a map of London. In that spirit, this fictional cartography should have the capacity to produce a number of different paths for one to follow on their drifts through the city. I have yet to undergo my own dérive, I'm still waiting to wake up early enough on a nice and sunny Sunday.

If you are so inclined, please use this map for a dérive of your own undertaking. I have included a link to download a tabloid sized PDF for anyone to print out.
