Song Board: Central Saint Martins


Song Board consists of 2940 yellow and black plastic spheres across a 35m long wall. This pop-up interactive installation at London's King's Cross station designed by the students at Central Saint Martins University of the Arts in London. Song Board enabled the public to rotate the balls creating their own unique patterns, images and messages.

I find it really clever that from such a simple idea, so much can be produced. Giving passers-by the freedom to create whatever they like on a large canvas. That engagement allows people to have their own voice, but also entertains, putting smiles on peoples faces and bringing positivity to their day. By rolling messages, some individuals may communicate something they haven't been given the chance to express before. Revolutionary.


The freedom of speech.
Or perhaps the ability to create a dog made up of spheres.
Whatever takes your fancy.
