Decorative Newsfeeds

A permanent version of Thomson & Craighead's installation 'Decorative Newsfeeds'.

A permanent version of Thomson & Craighead's installation Decorative Newsfeeds launched in December 2005. It is comprised of three colourful tracks of curving ultrabright LEDs that relay up to the minute headline news as a series of pleasant animations for passers-by in London's Forest Hill.

This public artwork has been funded by Sainsburys through a planning agreement with Lewisham Council. It is one of a series of artworks to be installed in Forest Hill town centre in coming years, including a new commission being developed by Forest Hills lead artist Michael Pinsky for the railway bridge in Waldram Crescent. The art commissions are being managed by Creative Lewisham Agency.
