Adventure Playground - Interactive Graffiti

This has to be a world first in London - Interactive Graffiti!

Someone had taken the trouble to convert streetsigns by Shoreditch Church into an adventure playground: swing, ladder, trapeze, rings and people were having quite some fun using them. A few more shots here.

Gustav Klimt meets Gary Glitter

While I was in Rivington Street the other day, I happened across the artist Hugh Gilmour at the end of his exhibition. I did like his stuff, and I loved the description "Gustav Klimt meets Gary Glitter in a dark alley". It's true.

I'm away for a few days, posting will continue.

The Two Commandments

A "first" for London Daily Photo today - two photos in one day. But there was no option, was there?

This is a work by Dr. D

I'm away for a few days, posting will continue.

More Light, More Power

Today, another thing that caught my eye in Rivington Street. This crest is the old motto of Shoreditch, the area we are in. Doesn't it echo the aspirations of that time when anything was possible, England ran the world; London was the heart of England and therefore the world?

I'm away for a few days, posting will continue.

We are

We are a scarf. Or so this collaborative project from Moving Brands would have us. I'd better leave it to their own words:

"Last Christmas we set up a screen made of fairy lights in the Moving Brands window.

We then invited people to send messages and drawings, via a simple web-interface, to be shown in sequence in the window. The window was captured by webcam and broadcast live to the internet.

We stored everything sent to the window in a gallery, and the full sequence has been used to create this scarf."

Very simple, but some kind of cool. It was The Way We See It that took me here, to Charlotte Road.
