During a regular work day people from different neighborhoods commute to perform their daily activities and move through the city leaving their paths. 'Lines of Travel' explores this phenomenon by briefly interviewing residents of the West Village and drawing their 'Lines of Travel' on maps of the City, one per person. At this point, each resident will be encouraged to use a detour to get to his/her destination, leaving his/her routine and comfort zone to discover new aspects of the City, maybe new places to eat, hang out or simply walk by. This experience will allow people to spatially recognize their commute, an action that is almost subconscious given the daily repetition of it. At the same time, proposing a new route will challenge them to look for additional elements of the City, and discovering things that may impress them. People will be asked to send feedback and check out the digital drawing depicting the journey of everybody involved in the experiment. Visualizing how their neighbors go back and forth from the neighborhood to the City, will serve to measure the vitality of their community, their diversity, their importance in the City, and among others, allow individuals to identify themselves as part of the complex urban life. It makes the personal act of commuting a collective experience, something that in a City of millions we almost forget.
