LONDON WALL (N4)
LONDON WALL / TALLINN WALL / LONDON WALL (N4)
 
London Wall (N4) is the third in this series of artworks and was commissioned for the inaurgural exhibition of the new Furtherfield Gallery in Finsbury Park, London in an exhibition called, 'Being Social'. Each wall is a physical manifestation of the invisible city all around us; a poetic snapshot of social networking traffic from within a specific radius of the gallery.


Over a ten-day period, publicly available status updates from popular websites like twitter and facebook were selected then published as an array of typeset posters revealing the idle mutterings of ourselves to ourselves as a form of concrete poetry.

London Wall (N4) is a clunky cottage industry, where the artists manually manufacture a collision of public electronic space with the public physical space of the museum.
