By adapting Freud's notion of floating attention to urban systems, Mario Gandelsonas applies a process of visual drift to the plan of Chicago. He uses mechanical eye of the computer in a de-layering process to read the plan of the city and to discover the system of urban notions that are specific to the American grid.
