[edit] About
Flying City is the Web site of the Urbanism Research Group, which consists of artists who interpret the city as a mental map and apply their interpretations to urban reality. They will update the site as they undertake experiments and record their research.
Psychogeography was first articulated within the Situationist movement in the late 1950s, as a study of the effects of the physical environment on human emotions and subsequently as a concrete intervention into urban transformation. At its birth, this was a revolutionary movement of social critique through urban architecture. Since then, artists have used it in a wider context and a variety of disciplines, mostly as a means of extending awareness of space and time. flyingCity is a Seoul-based artists' collective, whose work brings together principles of psychogeography with the modern realities of urbanism. At the heart of the collective is an ongoing commitment to active research into the intricate relationship between the appropriation of capital and the resulting urban transformation.
