KITSUN est un instrument de navigation fondé sur la dynamique des flux sémiques urbains. Dans les champs d’attractions qu’ils génèrent, ces flux informationnels viennent se substituer aux champs magnétiques de la boussole dans la détermination des directions à suivre. De la pertinence à la commodité, les parcours individuels expriment la tendance résultant de ces champs que les instruments de navigation se doivent de traduire.
On ne cherche pas ainsi à contraindre l’utilisateur à suivre un parcours s’il ne le souhaite pas. Bien au contraire on apprécie ses écarts pour infléchir les propositions et faire de la recommandation une lecture attentive de ses décisions. L’outil est ainsi le serviteur exigeant de son maître qu’il convient d’interpréter, d’accompagner, de devancer. Bien qu’elle émane d’une machine, cette lecture n’est néanmoins jamais servile puisqu’elle prend en compte la complexité des décisions individuelles dans leur signification collective. Chacun contribue donc à mieux comprendre le monde, pour mieux le découvrir à son tour.

Kitsun is a navigational instrument based on the dynamics of urban semic flow. In the fields of attractions they generate, these information flows come to replace the magnetic fields of the compass in determining the directions to follow. Relevance to the convenience, the individual paths express the trend resulting from such fields as navigation instruments must convert. We do not try and force the user to follow a course if it does not want to. On the contrary we appreciate its differences to influence the proposals and make the recommendation a careful reading of his decisions. The tool will be the servant of his master demanding to be interpreted, to accompany, to get ahead. Although it emanates from a machine, this reading is nevertheless ever servile as it takes into account the complexity of individual decisions in their collective meaning. Each contributes to better understand the world, to discover the best in turn.
