As part of his Sentient City Survival Kit (2010), the American artist and scientist Mark Shepard developed an iPhone navigation app called Serendipitor. The Serendipitor app calculates the ideal route to get you from A to B, but unlike the usual navigation apps, it doesn't offer you the most direct and fastest way to the destination, but offers detours and delays by way of Fluxus-inspired instructions. The aim is to open the user's eyes to new and unknown features of the city. On August 31 and September 1, 2012, Mark Shepard offered a guided Serendipitous Walk through Basel. VernissageTV took part in the tour on September 1, and documented the Serendipitor Walk Basel.
