@StrollCity: Interactive Project Focuses on Toronto Neighbourhoods
@StrollCity
September 21 to October 5, 2010
Shawn Micallef, the author of this spring's Stroll: Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto, typically explores the city on foot throughout the week. From September 21 to October 5, he'll be tweeting his discoveries through the Twitter handle @strollcity, in addition to his own feed.
TTC riders can tweet their replies to Micallef's texts, and they'll see them appear in an ever-changing spot that will run every 10 minutes on the Onestop TTC network of subway platform screens, visible to over 1 million subway commuters daily. Torontonians are encouraged to walk their city and share their findings with TTC riders across the city. Get involved in this unique, groundbreaking opportunity: a city-wide, interactive media-art project that engages with Toronto and its citizens.
Shawn Micallef's book Stroll celebrates Toronto’s details at the speed of walking, taking readers from well-known spots like the CN Tower and Pearson Airport to the overlooked corners of Scarborough and all the way to the end of the Leslie Street Spit.
Stroll City is co-produced by Art for Commuters, Onestop Media Group and Coach House Books, for Culture Days Ontario.
