In order to discover alternative methods of research creation and better understand the kinds of activities researchers engage with, Prof Alison Kearney took a group of Honours Visual Arts students on a walk at the Zoo. The students were given a Fluxus score, that included instructions to find certain animals, listen, look, draw and write about their experiences. The score helped to focus students’ activities and orientate their attention to ways of gathering information and meaning making. After the outing, we discussed the similarities and differences between our activities at the Zoo and what researchers do. We explored the Fluxus Zoo Walk as an example of walking methodologies that Ingold (2012) and Springgay and Truman (2017) explore.
