Operating at the intersection of fine art walking practice, psychogeography, critical animal studies and ecology, the practice of Deep Canine Topography seeks to reframe the humble act of the ‘walkies’ as a co-authored act of ‘making’ or ‘performing’ together.
As part of the practice based element of my PhD thesis, Deep Canine Topography, this experimental embodied drawing practice employs global positioning technology, not as a navigational tool, but as a drawing tool which tracks relative and relational movements between human and canine bodies. Drawings are generated by tracking the movements of both human and canine bodies which in turn are animated using open source software to create a collaborative, human- canine mark making practice.
