Minneapolis based BodyCartography Project are invested in exploring the body in sensorial engagement with its own internal world and its interface with the external world. In "GO", Olive Bieringa encounters urban space in intimate and unusual manners. There are a couple of videos, the first from Minneapolis in 2006, and the second from Brooklyn in the same year. Both are great. The Brooklyn piece is longer, but there is an interesting run-in with the police, and an omnipresent laughter from a woman who appears to have been following the piece. She even gives a bit or two of commentary.
Notice in one of the quotes about the work the explicit use of the term dérive.
