a social exchange :: reference

Travel through the city creates a sequence of experience. This sequence is a moving encounter with the environment, in which the traveller acts according to his own purposes, while the environment reciprocally shapes his experience. If we describe a sequence as a succession of events, each event, set against the remembered past, will affect the traveler’s attitude, response and perception of the future. Thus each experience is relative. A dark space, entered from a darker tunnel, may seem very bright. Past, present and future are joined.
