Wandering Goricas,
Mapping Twin Towns
The process based in Nova Gorica began with an in-
stormance* at the Pixxelpoint festival opening, when
the micro-location got instantly photo-mapped, pub-
lished and liked. (The instormer decided to present im-
ages of the feet of all the visitors to the opening.)
It continued the next day with an intensive open-air
workshop that took the participants through both Gori-
ca and Nova Gorica, setting them adrift on unplanned
journeys through the urban landscape. Leaning on the
Debordian method of dérive** and inspired by the situ-
ationist DeriveApp***, the participants in small groups
let themselves be drawn by the urban terrain and the
interactions that develop along the way.
