Mission Statement:
This space is dedicated to an ongoing study of the psychogeography of the city of San Francisco.

Pyschogeographic studies will be posted on an irregular basis. It could be weekly, it will likely not be daily. I hope they will be more frequent than monthly.

First, I would like to clarify our mission by providing some defintions:

Psychogeography - "... the study of the precise laws and specific effects of the geographical environment, consciously organized or not, on the emotions and behavior of individuals."
Guy Debord, Introduction to a Critique of Urban Geography, 1955.

Further elaboration of the concept of psychogoegraphy will be provided as we go along.
