PARCOURS II - Open Academy: Christian Nold "psycho geografical mapping"

We have listened to a lot of people with an agenda on this space - we have personally experienced some things from the site. Money pyramids, Hitler's airport, Go-cart races. Geomancy roots, Roads named after dead women. A large woman guarding the dead, urbanism & activism, Our role in all this... Future poor and rich people. Wind and soil are some mismatches and disconnects between these visions and experiences. Now is time to start to analyse them and pull our own thoughts and feelings together. Make some tools, diagrams, texts, what ever starts to help you MAKE sense. Get things out of your head into the world!
