Bus Tops

London from Realm Productions Ltd on Vimeo.

Alfie Dennen and Paula Le Die have won their London Olympics bid-winning art project (as only only a week previously), Bus Tops. In it, the roofs of bus stops around the capital will be equipped with screens made from LEDs, networked and connected to an API which will allow people to display messages and simple graphics so that ‘routes become canvasses’ – able to tell stories and be a platform for simple games. And for those concerned for the usual subject of publicly created art: “We welcome penises if they’re as part of artistic expression.”
