The eyes see more than the heart knows

In 2008 Peckham Platform (then Peckham Space) invited visitors to take part in an experiential tour of Peckham run by the Peckham Street Trainers, a collaboration between artist Lottie Child and net-art organisation Furtherfield.org. Peckham Street Training was anything but pedestrian.
