Priti Pandurangan — Information Experience Designer

I'm undertaking a series of walks to better understand strategies for observing, collecting, and recording multi-sensory information around us. This research draws from psychogeography, placemaking, and embodied methodologies, seeking to understand the nuances of place through movement, stillness, and shared experiences. I explore how constraint, collaboration, and attention shape our relationship with place.

Led by Fieldnotes, an artist-run publishing project (Fieldnotes, no date), this walking workshop involved visiting a nature reserve and focusing on the themes of walking and delving into place-based writing using approaches like concrete poetry, psychogeography, and mark- making. We investigated ways to observe the tensions underlying shifting landscapes, intertidal zones, living systems and the anonymised processes of de/composition.

This experience opened up new avenues to explore in my research, particularly in relation to observing the sonic qualities of a place through slow, long-durational listening (Oliveros, 2022) and prompt-based writing.
