- Walk With MeWalk With Me uses the act of listening, walking and exploration to highlight what locality means to the individuals within it… …the work is an interactive archive of Geocached Oral History Excursions, which, have been ‘virtually’ placed within the physical world. Listeners must seek and find these excursions and embark on an array of personal journeys. On the Walk With Me phone app, a map with numerous pins indicates the start point of an excursion.
