The irrepressible Alfie Dennen has another scheme afoot, called Bus-Tops, this is it in a nutshell:
"Bus-Tops is a London based project which was shortlisted for the Artists Taking The Lead fund, a collaboration between the Arts Council and LOCOG . The project intends to install a number of LED displays on the roof’s of Bus Shelters across London and providing the tools for the public and established artists to create content to be seen on them. It is as far as we know the largest physical computing project ever devised, and it’s core aim is to democratise public art."
Or you can read the full project plan. Looks good doesn't it?
And here's a message from Alfie: "What we're doing right now is trying to let artists know about the project to try and gather some ideas for how the platform might be used. In our budgeting we've allocated 20 £2,000 grants to work with artists and groups."
So, if you fancy that, follow the link, have a look and a think and get in touch with Alfie et al.
