Transformational Design

The Dispersal Zone is a technical solution to anti-social behaviour problems. It is a one size fits all answer.

The Dispersal Zone epitomises the mis-match between the ideas of well-intentioned policy makers and the reality of the specific needs of a local community.

This anomaly can be seen through both the implementation of the Dispersal Zone and the absence of knowledge, input and reaction from the local community.

Over the last 6 months I have been experimenting with different techniques for community engagement, initially raising awareness and working towards a community response to the Dispersal Zone.

See the project blog for details on these experiments. Meanwhile I'm preparing to present my findings to the borough Police Safer Neigbourhood Team and the Crystal Palace Safer Neighbourhood Forum (responsible for tackling anti-social behaviour in SE19)

Dispersal Zones ~ a London guide

There are no requirements to inform the community of a designated zone (other than to post an A4 order somewhere visible), community consent or formal evaluation are not necessary.

I've mapped out every Dispersal Zone in London using Met Police data under a Freedom of Information request.

You can use this site to find your nearest Dispersal Zone, perhaps you are living in one or on the edge...Send me your anecdotes, experiences, opinions etc to add to the site.

Busker Ringtones

For people who want to support live and spontaneous music on a city street or in a local. Busker Ringtones is one element of a wider project being developed focused on using technology to support and encourage live music.

Busker ringtones offer buskers a new revenue stream and at the same time gives the public unique ringtones for their mobile phones. Ringtones could be requested free at the RCA Interim Show but would normally cost £1.50.

Will our genetic inheritance be lost for good in the future?

Will hereditary DNA become more desirable than synthesized DNA in 2106?

Will we seek out “old genes” from our ancestors to revive lost skills and characteristics?

This project imagines a future court battle, presenting some of the evidence and background to the case.

Clash Calls

Turkmeister likes to clash with friends in the street, a rap battle ensues. France Telecom were looking for mobile phone applications, i suggested a mobile rap battle, "Clash Calls".

Map My London

It’s the everyday recollections and experiences of London’s citizens that define a city as it’s actually lived.

Map My London is a website I worked on with the Museum of London. The project was conceived as a means for the museum to record individuals’ experiences of life in the capital.

Visitors to the site are invited to leave a personal ‘memory’ that relates to a geographical location in the city, building up a kind of “ emotional map of the city.
