If you can get to Liverpool this weekend, the Royal Standard are hosting a weekend of events focusing on the idea of psychogeography as an artistic technique. Looking at walking as a form of artistic research, artists Colin Dilnot and Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau have been exploring their respective cities and have joined forces to bring you a weekend of film screenings, lectures and psychogeographical walks.
