URBAN EXPLORATION

For information on urban exploration in Portland, click on the title above, and also see http://iokaos.net/derive.

While I enjoyed the interactive map of the Southeast Portland Derive and the rest of this material, I have reservations about the Sadie Plant text which is prejudiced against surrealism, and reduces it to a dated cliche. It seems to me that vadding and the Derive can be part of a methodology where the dynamics of a surrealist-situationist synthesis materialize beneath our feet.
