"The city functions as a city only when it no longer functions."(Wolf Jobst Siedler)
Far from being smooth running machines, big cities are obstacle courses.
Construction sites,garbage bags or
advertising boards block,interrupt and
divert pedestrians producing pauses and
intermissions,hick-ups and urban eddies.
The stop/go experience of moving through a
city gives rise to Urban Rhythm.But do we
have to follow this beat or can we actively influence and remix the rhythm
–
change the experience? Stop-London is a
set of four site-specific graphic tools in
poster-format designed to rearticulate
urban rhythm, inviting the user to shift
from audience to agent. By unfolding the
posters on site, the user is transformed
into an obstacle in the urban environment,
turned into a character in the narrative,
empowered to alter the story. Stop-London
creates an experience that provides a
fresh viewpoint on our daily city
experience through triggering site
specific mini performances.
