Milwaukee Speaks, Drift Strategy

My drift strategy for Milwaukee Speaks was to exploit the idea of control. The idea of control overlaps with the theme from my last drift walk. My last drift walk consisted of revealing something deeper about Milwaukee, something that is not thought of when thinking about the city. Milwaukee Speaks, drift will start a block past North Avenue. I will walk up Prospect Ave. against the traffic. I will look for objects, things, people that demonstrated any sense of control, whether it be good or bad. I will take photos, video recordings, and sound recordings, of anything that offers a feeling of control. I will stop walking once I reach Brady street. The corner of Brady street and Prospect Ave is where I enter the Milwaukee River Trail for my last drift walk. I want to connect those points. I also want to continue down the trail. I will start my drift walk again from where I stopped on my last drift walk. I walk down the trail looking for objects, things, people that are off the trail. I will take photos, video recordings, and sound recordings of anything that extends a feelings of control either good or bad. I will stop on the trail once I walk the same distance as I did down Prospect Ave.
