Knowledge becomes public when it acquires a form capable of returning to the situations from which it was made. Walking makes this return literal. Van Es and de Lange describe datawalking as an embodied and situated method able to reconnect apparently abstract infrastructures with their material occurrence in everyday space: sensors, platforms, interfaces and computational processes become legible because the body encounters them as urban conditions rather than as remote technical systems. Antunes extends walking into an expanded artistic field in which movement, narrative, sound and locative technologies produce knowledge across aesthetics, politics, ecology and infrastructure, while Sinner’s a-r-tographic walking refuses the separation of artist, researcher and teacher by treating bodily encounter with public space as an epistemic operation.
