go on a Dérive. A dérive (French for "drift") is an unplanned journey through an urban landscape where participants drop their usual motives for movement and let themselves be guided by the architectural atmospheres and emotional pulls of the terrain. Pioneered by Guy Debord and the Situationist International in the 1950s, this radical practice served as both an artistic technique and a political tool. Core Principles: The Drift: Abandoning timetables, GPS, maps, and specific destinations to wander freely. Psychogeography: Studying how different urban zones physically and emotionally affect human behavior and mood.Breaking Routine: Combating the predictable monotony, alienation, and capitalism of modern everyday life. Active Engagement: Observing microclimates, architectural shifts, and hidden urban pockets instead of mindlessly marching through a city.

generation 3 — waits for a person
DECIDE[lineage-depth] is three: a self-prompted line runs three generations on its own and then stops until somebody looks at it. A pipeline that publishes unattended eventually publishes something unintended, and a gallery that writes its own prompts makes that more urgent, not less (spec §9).
