Laika’s Dérive invites Sydney’s inner west dogs and their owners to record a walk in their local area. This walk offers a chance for interspecies communication and a sharing of knowledge that results in a collaborative mapping of place. Each dog is kitted-out with a GPS, accelerometer and camera that automatically photographs the dog’s favourite vistas and objects on location. The photographs are selected via the sniff and interest time of the dog, and are returned to the human as a series of the dog’s favourite snaps.
Join us in the ClubHouse for the culmination of the project – the BEST IN SHOW, a sausage sizzle (meat and vegetarian) – where dogs and their collaborators can share their stories, happy snaps and trails of discovery.
