The Art of Walking
Description
The Art of Walking is a small, deft and moving contemplation on walking as both art and remix. The Art of Walking was created specifically for the website of Mark Amerika's 'Remix the Book' Project, which itself was a remix of Amerika's 'theoretical performances' that foregrounded samples of ideas and concepts he had gleaned and used from other writers, philosophers artists, poets, musician etc. As part of this whole 'remix' project, Out-of-Sync were invited artists to create work musing on remixing.

Artist Statement
The Art of Walking where we remix Agnes Varda's Vagabond, our own online project Museum of Rumour and Mark Amerika's Sentences on Remixology 1.0 with a dash of Hamish Fulton the walking artist. The work came about through serendipity. Mark's deadline for his Remix project was looming and we had just read his Sentences on Remixology 1.0 a wonderful piece of writing that detourned Sol Lewitt's own Sentences on Conceptual Art. Mark had completely rethought what it is to be a media/ postproduction artist today. His thinking ranged widely across the arts and philosophy and there was a lot to think about.
