Abstract: Movement is practiced, experienced, and embodied at different scales and in different spaces. Even when we stand still our bodies move: digestion, blood flow, neurotransmitters, our endless heartbeats that operate in hard beats, our e-heartbeats that exist in bytes and bits. Avenues, boulevards, roads, bike lanes, bridges, and paths serve movement. Circulation in cities is the grounding precondition for sustaining urban life. Imposing control and order over city streets implies power over the city itself. In our everyday lives, movements define trajectories, allow transitions. Their primal spaces of reference are analog and digital thresholds.
