Henry C. Beck's iconic diagram of the London Underground from the 1930s clearly presents the city's subterranean transit lines, but until now there has been no comprehensive mapping of its pedestrian routes. In 2005 the designers of Applied Information Group (AIG) identified thirty-two different signage systems for pedestrians, creating 'visual noise rather than reliable, coordinated information.' In an effort to make the city easier to navigate for the 2012 Olympic Games, the mayor's office and Transport for London have begun a campaign called Legible London and commissioned AIG to design a user friendly pedestrian way-finding system. AIG's design for the maps and signs, the result of extensive research, is Maps are placed to match the user's orientation and include three-dimensional (and therefore more recognizable) renderings of landmarks and details such as whether the streets are cobblestone or asphalt; concentric circles identify locations within five-minute and fifteen-minute walks. The system is also integrated with public transport networks to get both residents and tourists to destinations near and far. Legible London was launched in 2007 with 1 prototype in the West End and in2009 expanded into three more neighborhoods; it has been a great success, with some surveys showing that most Londoners would like the system to be available across the city. Legible London renders an exceptionally complex city more accessible and transparent, enabling both efficiency and exploration, and has the added benefit of encouraging walking, thus addressing environmental and public-health issues. - Applied Information Group (UK, est. 2002)

One Hundred and Eight is a wall-mounted installation created from ordinary plastic bags. Each bag is instructed by a micro-controller to inflate and deflate using two cooling fans. Although each plastic bag is stationary, the sequences of inflation and deflation create the impression of a group of organisms moving in unison. However, as soon a viewer approaches the installation, it instantly reacts by drawing back and tentatively following the movements of the observer. As soon as the visitor moves away, the bags reorganize themselves and resume their gentle swaying. - Nils Voelker
