Lily Demet is a bricoleur-as-researcher engaged in deep mapping, a practice of situated, embodied inhabitation through which they enter into dialogue with their surroundings. Their current research interrogates the role of navigational applications—particularly Google Maps—in re/figuring the urban everyday. Situating everyday spatial practices as sites of knowledge production, they call for an active reconfiguration of mental maps through alternate approaches to wayfinding. Their proposed project is a research-creation endeavour: they will think via the speculative design and digital construction of a counterhegemonic application for cultivating spatial awareness through destination-disoriented discovery of Vancouver.
Apart from feeling the city, their spatiorhythmic practices include unicycling and fiddling on the viola. Though, unlike the simultaneous apprehension of light behaving as wave and particle, Lily may, at times, be observed doing both at once. Recent thesis can be found at negative-spaces.github.io, and ongoing theorizing at negative-spaces.github.io/the-middle-of-things/.
