1618年，剧作家本·琼森从伦敦步行到爱丁堡。2009年，在一份手稿中找到了那次散步的细节。2013年7月至10月，琼森的“徒步旅行”在推特上实时发布，一个链接的博客托管了一张数字地图，其中包含文本信息。琼森的“虚拟”之旅是为了加强公众参与，他融入新社区的同时，也与世纪的居民进行了交流。与此同时，这些推文以一种在线性叙事中无法辨别的方式暗示了琼森行动的时空性，揭示了它们的动态质量。这激发了对步行的历史时间性的反思，挑战了步行者和观众之间的历史距离。
In 1618, the playwright Ben Jonson walked from London to Edinburgh. In 2009 details of that walk were recovered in a manuscript account. In 2013, Jonson’s ‘Foot-Voyage’ was tweeted real-time from July to October, and a linked blog hosted a digital map deepened with information from the text. Jonson’s ‘virtual’ journey was to enhance public engagement, his absorption into new communities echoed by exchanges with their twenty-first-century inhabitants. Simultaneously, the tweets suggested the spatial-temporality of Jonson’s actions in a manner not discernable in the linear narrative, revealing their kinetic quality. This stimulated a rethinking of the walk’s historical temporality, which challenges the historical distance between walker and audience.
