Psychogeography, in short, is the process to study the influence of the urban environment and architecture on human behavior.

The main component of my own psychogeographical experiment consists of open map for lines of public transport in the city Banska Bystrica. From the map, I randomly selected 10 tracks/bus lines and I tried them physically and mentally mapped. I transformed each into a separate folder, which became specific documentary material. Each line shows the trajectory of which I cleared all the original text information. In this visual space I directly during walks documented spontaneous information and also applied a stamps with graphic symbols. For psychogeographical algorithm I chose mapping lines „there and back“. The first line I realized with mechanical movement by public transport, when I perceived the mapping direction line. In confronting second line - line backwards, I have already started the process of walking so called „drifting“ and psychogeographical experiment. The final maps completing set of digital photos that are illustrative of some urban scene and also short audio recordings that contain „sounds of the city“. In addition, I created one comprehensive map and on it I identified mapped lines and added the original topographic data. Finally, I have compiled information fold leaflets. Complex fusion of all these pieces creates a unified art collection with own logo and hand-made supplements with wooden design. The whole process offered me a situations where I was naturally exhorting change ordinary understanding of walking, my orientation and movement around the city. This transformation Importance of walking generally has forced me to notice every detail of the urban environment. Walking so become for me an imaginary communication between me and the town itself. I did not focus on it exactly where I am and where I need to quickly get. The city has so happened for me as unique organism. I would define it as atypical psychological play full of unforeseen situations, feelings and fusion of art with everyday life.
