Susanna Castleden Signature______________________________________ Date__________________________________________ Wanderlust: mobility, mapping and being in the world. Susanna Castleden W I°00’00” Wanderlust: mobility, mapping and being in the world. Summary. Identifying with the field of cultural geography this project questions how the consequence and affect of global mobility has changed the way we see and encounter the world, and how this has necessitated alternative ways of visualising our position within it. Drawing from the research of mobilities scholars John Urry and Tim Cresswell, this creative project explores mobility associated specifically with leisure travel, examining the phenomenon of mobility and what it means to be part of a world ‘on the move’. The way in which we move through time and space and our relationship to other mobilities prompts the question of how this experience might be understood and transformed into a visual practice, and encourages new strategies and methodologies for visualising mobility. Mobility research provides a critical analysis of doing things – travelling, walking, cycling, or flying – in a similar way that creative practice research enables reflection on the doing of making. Mobilities research offers critical analysis beyond the simple fact that movement is a by-product of transport, instead it turns attention to the embodied experiences of mobility, to ask what happens whilst we are on the move, and how does the experience of mobility affect our understandings of time and space? Thus the embodied experience of doing is understood through both creative practice and theoretical reflection. The relationship between art and cartography has a long and rich history. From the earliest maps of the Roman Empire to the work of contemporary artists such as Julie Mehretu and Guillermo Kuitca, artists and cartographers continue to utilise geographic and creative methodologies to visualise the world. In addition to scrutinising the visual language of traditional mapping, this research project turns to contemporary cartographic practices as a way to find out how the world may be encountered, how it can be represented visually, and how it may be experienced ontologically. The multitude of ways in which we experience the world via our imaginary or real presence in it continues to offer a rich area of multidisciplinary research for artists and geographers alike. At a time when every surface of the world has been discovered, surveyed or mapped in some way, and the globe is encased in the tracks of satellites, global travel and movement, artists are looking at ways of making use of this information: of the spaces, journeys and experiences that this era presents. Wanderlust: mobility, mapping and being in the world. Susanna Castleden W III°00’00” Martin Heidegger’s notion of being-in-the world forms a key part of this project and is drawn from as a way of introducing, and in many ways contrasting, the notion that in order to live an authentic existence, human experience must be rooted to places or regions. Within mobilities research there is a call to examine the mobile and nomadic in favour of the sedentary; to understand ways of knowing via the mobile bodies that make up our contemporary world. Therefore in choosing to examine being-in-the-world through mobility, the possibility is presented that moving through the physical world may open up new understandings of being. The relationship between knowing and being are central in this research project, as a corollary to both mobility and mapping. Throughout this project maps and mapping offer an enduring structural and conceptual methodology to create works that evoke some of the unknown in a world of the known. Examined through Nicolas Bourriaud’s aptly geographical metaphor of a conceptual archipelago (Bourriaud, 2009) this research project unites a series of separate yet interrelated ideas akin to metaphorical islands, and draws them together to form an archipelago of creative projects. Arising from a curiosity about how the world is encountered and represented, this research project connects cultural geography and cartographic thinking with contemporary art theory and practice, in order to seek new ways of understanding the world. The objective of this project is to create a body of two and three-dimensional artworks utilising methodologies associated with drawing and printmaking, to allude to contemporary understandings of wanderlust, mobility, mapping and being-in-the-world. Through this research project I suggest that being in our contemporary world is inextricably linked to wanderlust, mobility and mapping. Summary Acknowledgements. Acknowledgements.

Susanna Castleden W VII°00’00” Introduction // Wanderlust: mobility, mapping and being in the world. In his preface to The Radicant, Nicolas Bourriaud uses the term conceptual archipelago to articulate his approach to exploring an idea with fragments or smaller parts that are firmly linked together by a central idea (Bourriaud, 2009). Bourriaud’s conceptual archipelago evokes for me an image of a cluster of small islands, or thoughts, surrounded by a body of water through which one can occasionally see, or at least sense, an underlying structure that ultimately links them together. I use this phrase by way of an introduction as it encompasses and evokes the key issues that I draw on in this research project, and present in this exegesis: fragments of geographical thinking, wonder, travel, imagination, mobility and mapping. This research project begins with two of the larger islands of the archipelago – geography and creative practice. Arguably beginning with Strabo’s encyclopaedia

    KS2 On The Move Thematic Unit Introduction to Thematic Unit This ICL looks at movement from a very broad perspective. It is mainly based in the subject area of The World Around Us exploring all the strands of History, Geography and Science and Technology. There are also opportunities to explore aspects of Personal Development and Mutual Understanding. In The World Around Us pupils are encouraged to explore the concepts of Interdependence, Place, Movement and Energy and Change Over Time. This unit most obviously addresses Movement and Energy but the other aspects also feature as well. The Key Questions in this unit ask: What makes animals move? … focusing on animal migration and in particular those animals who migrate to and from Northern Ireland. How do we move? … focusing on the biology of human movement – muscles and bones working together. What makes people travel? … taking a look at large scale movements of people now and in the past – invaders, those who left Ireland during the famine and new arrivals in Northern Ireland today. This section links with Personal Development and Mutual Understanding. How do we travel, now and in the past? … looks at different methods of transport and how they have changed over time. How do water, light and energy travel? How do forces affect movement? What is ‘green energy? … looks at the physics behind movement and at the rules for how light and sound travel. Consolidating the Learning in this unit This ICL draws on a huge amount of material as the subject of movement touches on almost every aspect of the World Around Us.

    American Conservation Film Festival – NORTH! at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge FRIDAY, MARCH 6th 7:00 – 7:45 pm Flight of the Butterflies Filmmaker: Mike Slee Following the year-long annual migration cycle of the butterflies, the award-winning production team filmed hundreds of millions of monarchs in their remote overwintering sanctuaries in Mexico in 2011 and again in 2012 and also along their migratory routes from Canada, across the U.S. and into Mexico. The monarch butterfly is a true marvel of nature. Weighing less than a penny, it makes one of the longest migrations on Earth across a continent to a place it has never known. Follow the monarchs' perilous journey and experience millions of them in the remote mountain peaks of Mexico, with breathtaking cinematography from an award winning team including Oscar® winner Peter Parks. Be captivated by the true and compelling story of an intrepid scientist's 40-year search to find their secret hideaway. Unravel the mysteries and experience the Flight of the Butterflies. 8:00 – 9:00 pm From Billions to None – The Passenger Pigeon’s Flight to Extinction Filmmaker: David Mrazek September 1, 2014 marked the centennial of the end of a species, when “Martha,” the last known passenger pigeon, died at the Cincinnati Zoo. These sleek and beautiful birds darkened entire skies by the billions for millennia, yet they were driven to extinction – by us – in a matter of a few decades. Naturalist and author Joel Greenberg, along with scientists and artists, reveal the bird’s compelling story and striking relevance to conservation issues today.
