| THE CRUISE: A documentary starring Starring Timothy "Speed" Levitch. Speed is a mildly crazy romantic, and New York City is his muse. He walks around New York in a swoon, mesmerized by the people, buildings and life around him. He's always saying stuff like "you are 3 1/2 blocks from infinity", this sort of thing. He's definitely crazier than me, but I truly appreciate his love for the city, and his ability to find romance and excitement in parts of the city that other people think are mundane. |

With no other goal in mind than to satisfy his curiosity about what might be discovered around the next corner, De Quincey spent entire days randomly strolling around London. In the 20th century, the surrealists in the 30ties & the Lettrists in the 50ties elaborated on this urge by transforming it into a systematic practice. In the 60ties the Situationists took this activity to the next level by developing psychogeography: the science of the dérive, the drift..." |
