What is LOST/walk?

LOST /walk is a daylong interactive, multi-media event that directly involves the audience in the artistic process. Participants go on a walk, get lost and record their experiences using different media, including instamatic photos, hand held recorders, pen and paper, sketch pad and colored pencils, disposable cameras, etcetera. Over the course of their walk they will be asked to find objects, have experiences, or "Touchstones" to guide their adventure. Once they return the walkers will spend two to three hours collaborating with professional artists to create original pieces based on the LOST/walk experience. The pieces may include short films, plays, multi-media pieces, sculptures, performance art pieces, poems, songs, dance pieces, compositions, etcetera. Following the creative collaboration, these pieces will be presented as part of a large party.

the first LOST/walk

Stay tuned. The first LOST/walk is coming soon.

tell us about getting lost

Have you ever been lost? How old where you? What did it feel like? Where was it? What did you learn from it? Please tell us everything.

you can't get lost in a car

My grandfather always used to say, "You can't get lost in a car." But where's the adventure in that? I once took a wrong turn looking for pizza. My wife and I were on vacation. We ended up at Papa's Johns. I felt terribly lost. When we got back on the road we had traveled 54 miles out of the way. That number sticks with me...54. So we traveled another 50 miles trying to find our way back. We got more lost. I panicked.

In hindsight, we made it. We had a great drive. I was never really lost in space.

Just in self.

I missed the scenery for the driving.
