The fact that the "code" is modeled on a procedural programming language, is totally superfluous to the action of a psycho-geographic walk. One could ask, why procedural, why programming, why not a score or a set of instructions? Humans don't inherently operate on pseudo-code, humans relate to code about as much as X-code relates to Acconci's poetry.
The psycho-geographic walk is more related to chance operations, an idea very thoroughly unpacked by Cage and Cunningham. To write it in code without exploring aspects of the experience such as action and space in relation to the body, ritual and architecture, is limiting and gimmicky.
What am I missing? Will somebody please tell me?
