L'art du déplacement

Le parcours was invented for military obstacle training, it has now expanded to an urban setting where flight is the main objective (as martial arts are for the fight). Interesting is the thought of how these parcour practitioners may give a new purpose to the buildings and building elements, creating a new relationship between the user and building. These guys will likely be naturally selected without certain building codes.

I edited the music of the original video, this one is "Creator" by Santogold, thinking of using it in my googlesketchup video...any suggestions as to why I should'nt would be appreciated. I think it relates to my theme because I interpreted the song and the three artists similarly. They are all very creative and innovative pieces of work, by females, which inevitably has the feminist agenda. With strong female vocals the persona of the song also reiterates her creative and innovative successes.
