LDN24 by the Light Surgeons
LDN24 is a vivid multimedia installation that depicts 24 hours in the life of the greatest city on earth.
An innovative and radical vision of London is played out across an astonishing elliptical screen that stretches for 48 metres around the Sackler Hall in the heart of the Museum’s new Galleries of Modern London.
LDN24 follows a day in the life of London using hundreds of filmed sequences from across the capital to show the city waking, working and winding down on a giant plasma screen. At the same time, a stream of real-time information flows around the surrounding LED ellipse producing an information map of the city.
From tidal patterns to temperatures, flight arrivals to FTSE fluctuations, RSS feeds and Twitter searches – these are the rhythms that compose the city. The Light Surgeons’ LDN24 is the first winner of the Museum of London Film Commission, a new biennial competition in association with Film London, which will attract and develop London’s brightest and most innovative multimedia artists and film-makers.
LDN24 by the Light Surgeons is part of the Museum of London media art commission.
