As our CVCS research report deadline was on the 2nd of August, we decided that we would like to have a collective statement to work from when writing about our work. This proved harder than you'd think. We struggled with the idea of suggesting something that wasn't too pretentious or rigid, but trying to get the idea of continuity and cohesion across.
I had been keen to construct a connection between the two sites and had also been reading a lot about the Situationists and Guy Debord's theory of the dérive. I suggested that we walk from the college to the Cowgate in dérive-like fashion (although you're not supposed to know your route when taking part in a dérive...) and record out chatterings while we walked. From this we could write a collective statement.
So we walked and the final statement is hilarious but picks up on landmarks which the viewers can follow if they are walking from one venue to the other. Please see completed catalogue!
