Psychogeographical Exercises The mental exercises (total of 30) were recorded and broadcast on a local radio station in the middle of the flow of programmes, under the title Päivän psykomaantieteellinen harjoitus (Today’s Psychogeographical Exercise). The exercises dealt with perception and imagination. They challenged the listener to see the surrounding city of Turku in novel ways: the city appeared as a phenomenological space of experience, which is composed of layers of the concrete and the imaginary, the dominant dispositifs and individual utopias. Twelve exercises were later chosen for a free-distribution booklet Psykogeografisia harjoituksia /Psychogeographical Exercises. The radio and the booklet experimented with two very different ways of using the produced material: radio reaches people unannounced, wherever they happen to be listening, whereas printed material depends on the intention of the reader to use the booklet at a chosen moment.
