Imagination
“Feels like we’re fluttering around in a child’s imagination. So glad the exhibition shows the kindness and warmth of children. I think us grown ups with posh shoes have a lot to learn.” Visitor’s feedback at The Butterfly Effect Schools Exhibition November 13, 2014 by Leonora Oppenheim

Plunge – London Light Installation Marks Future Sea Level Rise
This is a long overdue post, so late in fact that the artwork in question has now ended, but it’s still absolutely worth commenting on. Over the last few months mysterious rings appeared encircling London’s columns. They were placed some way up the columns and at night they lit up, glowing neon blue.

The power of visualization
Excellent words from Seth Godin this week on why “data is hard for human beings to digest.” He talks about, “the power of visualizing data and turning it into information.” We like his thinking, but we also know it needs to go further, so that people really can identify with and make use of that […] October 21, 2011 by Leonora Oppenheim
