Indeterminate Hikes+ BASECAMP.EXE by ecoarttech :: June 1-3, 2012 :: 319 Scholes, Bushwick Open Studios, Brooklyn, New York.

Leila and Cary of ecoarttech invite you to join us for a wilderness excursion through Bushwick’s pristine industrial landscape! Visit our BASECAMP.EXE installation at 319 Scholes to prepare psychically for an Indeterminate Hike through Brooklyn’s urban wilds. With our new Indeterminate Hikes+ app, we will be leading impromptu hikes throughout the weekend of Bushwick Open Studios, departing from 319 Scholes, as well as scheduled hikes at the following times:

June 1, 4pm and 7pm
June 2, 2pm, 4pm, and 7pm

About the project:

Indeterminate Hikes+ is a mobile phone app that transforms everyday landscapes into sites of bio-cultural diversity and wild happenings, and the BASECAMP.EXE installation psychically prepares hikers for IH+ wilderness excursions. Most of us use our smartphones as instruments of rapid communication and consumerism. IH+ reappropriates this technology as a tool of environmental imagination and meditative wonder, renewing awareness of the places we inhabit and slowing us down at the same time. The app imports the experience of wilderness into virtually any place accessible by Google Maps, encouraging its participants to treat these locales as spaces worthy of the attention usually accorded only to nature, such as canyons and waterfalls.
