"There is a spectre haunting Europe, nay the world. The spectre of psychogeography". London Psychogeographical Association
by no means intended to be a definitive overview, national psychogeographic has been established by writer and film-maker john rogers to draw together some of the exciting and interesting ideas from the area of what is vaguely termed 'psychogeography'. contributions and comments are very welcome info@nationalpsychogeographic.com
"Rebels and bohemians traverse cities scattering signs, staging enigmas, leaving coded messages usurping the territorial claims of priests and kings by transforming the social perception of specific urban sites. Both the London Psychogeographical Association and the Manchester Area Psychogeographic use their newsletters to publicise regular gatherings that interested parties may attend. On these trips, anything or nothing at all may happen. These are possible appointments and sometimes only one intrepid psychogeographer attends. Other events are huge gatherings of urban tribes bent on emotionally remapping the cities in which they dwell. Psychogeographers pass each other like ships in the night, show up late or not at all." Stewart Home, Mind Invaders (1997)
