This is lovely and meaningful and I have no doubt it's art; in a way it relates obviously to role-playing games that exist also in theater; I forget the woman's name in NY - she's done work leading people through the city in and out of spaces. Johannes Birringer might know who I'm thinking of. In a very different way, Foofwa d'Imobilite's Danceruns through cities and city-spaces relate, That's at Foofwa.com and I think relates through a different form of meditation/thinking/discussion. Anne Halprin comes to mind. I think all of these relate, so much more. Of course it's all art, all creative play, even Dungeons and Dragons, etc.; I'd even put the average Zoom meaning into this. In a sense it's renaissance of laterality and independent (networkd +/-) think -
