The Common Line

Imagine the longest possible straight line across the landscapes of mainland Britain. From the north-west of Scotland to the south coast of England. It traverses and connects an incredible diversity of places and landscapes… fields, farms and housing estates, shopping centres, roads and railways, schools, factories and mountain-tops.

Now imagine that line planted with trees. A linear forest with its own life rhythms, ecologies, and will to growth. What would happen if you could see that line, interact with it, and hear its hidden voices, ecologies and the politics of its places as you walked along or across it?

This is The Common Line.

The Common Line is being developed collaboratively by Blind Ditch, Controlled Frenzy and Geography at University of Exeter from an idea by Volkhardt Mueller.
