Psychogeography is research of daily city life through intervening in the social, artistic or technical aspects of it. Fed by artists, geeks or activists that search for expression in their surroundings. Themes are the relations between public and private space, the influence of new technology on the urban experience, and modification of advertising bombardment through billboards, posters and flyers in the current age.
