“Notes from the Land of The Commuter” is an ever-expanding project if geolocation and site-specific petry. For this series, I allowed the world around me, the world that plagues every walking hour of my days in this city, to engulf me. I opened myself up to the voices of my environment, to the images it was trying to push and the messages it was trying to teach me and ended up with a collection of entries that never seems to ed. For my revisions, I endeavoured to make the exploration of my Google Map a more sensory and involved experience. I wanted my audience to feel as if they were walking by me and hearing the same conversation. I wanted them to feel as if they were The Commuter. I created a work of space-time poetry, titled “Love Shop” combining the poetic verses sparked in me by fleeting encounter, with the enlightening discussions I have eavesdropped on. This resulted in an audiovisual experiment that deepens the layers of site-inspired poetics in this series
