Stop London:
Hacking Urban Rhythm
Retail & Leisure Environments



Urban Hacking tools: four site-specific graphic tools in poster-format. Far from being smooth running machines, big cities are obstacle courses. Construction sites, garbage bags or advertising boards block, interrupt and divert pedestrians producing pauses and intermissions, hick-ups and urban eddies. The stop/go experience of moving through a city gives rise to Urban Rhythm. But do we have to follow this beat or can we actively influence and remix the rhythm - change the experience? Stop-London is a set of four site-specific graphic tools in poster-format designed to rearticulate urban rhythm, inviting the user to shift from audience to agent. By unfolding the posters on site, the user is transformed into an obstacle in the urban environment, turned into a character in the narrative, empowered to alter the story. Stop-London creates an experience that provides a fresh viewpoint on our daily city-experience through triggering sitespecific mini performances.
