Hart's A New Way of Walking

This post chronicles the reading 'A New Way of Walking'.

1. Identify the article you selected and why you chose it.

I chose to write about Joseph Hart's article entitled 'A New Way of Walking'. I really liked reading this article in it's narrative style, and so I found this the easiest and most enjoyable to read. I also liked how everything progressed in the article, and how the writer wove in his argument about soundwalking with his experience in soundwalking.

2. What are the main points of this essay?

Essentially to do soundwalking as a way of looking at your town or city in a different light. We have a set number of places we go to, as in work, school, grocery store, home, etc... and if we try something different and see where we live from a different angle, then we will grasp a different, and hopefully better, view of it. The other main point is that soundwalking is an enriching experience that everyone should participate in at least once.

3. How are these ideas or arguments relevant to your career as a media artist?

Because any information on what I am researching is absolutely vital. The only way you can get better at what you do is to study and research the hell out of it. You can never know too much about what you're studying, and so to read Hart's views and experiences on soundwalking was definetly worth the time and effort it took to read it.
