London Wall by Thomson & Craighead

     London Wall is a physical manifestation of the invisible city all around us; a poetic snapshot of social networking traffic from within a three-mile radius of the Museum of London. Over a ten-day period, publicly available status updates from popular websites like twitter and facebook will be selected then published as a vast array of typeset posters revealing the idle mutterings of ourselves to ourselves as a form of concrete poetry. London Wall is a clunky cottage industry, where the artists manually manufacture a collision of public electronic space with the public physical space of the museum.
    All of the words or phrases or sentences put on the wall are all things people need and think of every day life. It is really pratical and connective to human lives. This is like a part of life.
