Sneak preview of a book chapter featuring in the upcoming Digital Cities publication From Social Butterfly to Engaged Citizen, to be published by MIT in Dec 2011.
Street Haunting SBarns Final-1
The title for the chapter was inspired by reading Virginia Woolf’s Street Haunting, in which she takes her readers on a walk through London one winter’s eve in search of a pencil. Happily, it’s available online now, and can be read below.
Another inspiration for the piece are the Lost Laneways of Sydney – one of the images from this fine collection is below. It captures a man walking down Exeter Place in Sydney, 1906. Exeter Place was obliterated as part of the Wexworth St Resumption.
Exeter Place Surry Hills, c1906.
