Packet Switching is a 37 minute mix of generative visuals and aural field recordings that trace a walk along the coast path in Falmouth, Cornwall. It consists of an audio field recording and six linked generative visual sections timed to the length of the walk. The work explores the idea of walking as ritual; as a withdrawal from a rule-bound to a less structured psychic state.
