Decorative Newsfeeds

A permanent installation commissioned by Sainsburys, Forest Hill.

Using a live feed from the web, "Decorative Newsfeeds" presents up to the minute headline news from around the world as a series of pleasant animations sent to a bespoke ultrabright LED screen, allowing passers by and visitors to a nearby supermarket to keep informed while contemplating a kind of readymade sculpture in London's Forest Hill.

There are three fixed tracks on the LED screen in blue, amber and green and text runs along them in both directions and at different speeds according to a simple set of rules. The result is a phasing and evolving automatic drawing.
