Enter an origin and a destination, and the app maps a route between the two. You can increase or decrease the complexity of this route, depending how much time you have to play with. As you navigate your route, suggestions for possible actions to take at a given location appear within step-by-step directions designed to introduce small slippages and minor displacements within an otherwise optimized and efficient route. You can take photos along the way and, upon reaching your destination, send an email sharing with friends your route and the steps you took.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project website: <a href=\"http:\/\/survival.sentientcity.net\/serendipitor.html\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/survival.sentientcity.net\/serendipitor.html\">http:\/\/survival.sentientcity.net\/serendipitor.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">CREDITS: Serendipitor is a component of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.andinc.org\/v4\/?p=4\">Sentient City Survival Kit<\/a>, a project of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/creative-capital.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Creative Capital<\/a>.
