En uno de mis vaivenes me he encontrado con esto. Ha venido mucho a mi mente Alfonsina Storni estos días, es una figura muy presente en mi infancia y "Viaje" me parece una preciosidad.

Elige tu propia deriva. (teaser y prueba)

La actividad consiste en repartir estratégicamente barquitos de papel en sitios aleatorios dentro de la ciudad de Madrid. El público que busco alcanzar es gente que tenga acceso a internet y que sea asidua de él.

Busco no solo el extrañamiento de un objeto frágil en un entorno abrumador, sino el encuentro y ruptura de una rutina enajenada hacia un instante de duda e interés.

El objetivo es recibir un feedback de las personas que vivan este encuentro.

SEMÁNIATICA.

DERIVADA: En matemáticas, la derivada de una función es una medida de la rapidez con la que cambia el valor de dicha función según cambie el valor de su variable independiente. La derivada de una función es un concepto local, es decir, se calcula como el límite de la rapidez de cambio media de la función en un cierto intervalo, cuando el intervalo considerado para la variable independiente se toma cada vez más pequeño. Por ello se habla del valor de la derivada de una cierta función en un punto dado.
Un ejemplo habitual aparece al estudiar el movimiento: si una función representa la posición de un objeto con respecto al tiempo, su derivada es la velocidad de dicho objeto.
