From an interview with the editors:

How would you describe walking art?
CH: Walking art connects the imagination with an ambulatory journey ... [It] can be many things: a poetic experience, a theatrical meander, a story ramble, a sound-based amble, a political walk, a subversion, an intervention, a game, a meditation, a dedication, a cultural reflection.  The experience can vary from solitary wander to a participatory event. Walking art sharpens the senses so we can focus a little more closely and perceptively with our surroundings or be challenged by how surroundings have been planned.  

CQ: As art in which the action or experience of walking is inherent ... a lot of amazing art is inspired by walking, or documents walks, but ... for a work to be walking art people need to take part (to walk, to move) in it for themselves. It’s durational and experiential.
