“The lessons drawn from dérives enable us to draft the first surveys of the psychogeographical articulations of a modern city….One measures the distances that actually separate two regions of a city, distances that may have little relation with the physical distance between them. With the aid of old maps, aerial photographs and experimental dérives, one can draw up hitherto lacking maps of influences, maps whose inevitable imprecision at this early stage is no worse than that of the earliest navigational charts. The only difference is that it is no longer a matter of precisely delineating stable continents, but of changing architecture and urbanism.” - Guy Debord

I asked two boys if there was any place in the neighborhood that they wanted to go, but couldn’t access.  After brief consideration, both boys replied that no, there was no place they could think of that fit the description I gave.
