Situationists, psychogeography and the derive

another concise explanation of these ideas

The text on this page is taken from The most radical gesture: The Situationist International in a postmodern age by Sadie Plant:

"...to dérive was to notice the way in which certain areas, streets, or buildings resonate with states of mind, inclinations, and desires, and to seek out reasons for movement other than those for which an environment was designed."

Hi, I am planning on going on a derive in Dever, Colorado. Do you have any ideas on what I can do? I have to have a thesis. Thanks
