Travel to the depths of subterranean London and come face to face with the being inhabiting our sewers. Sprankenstein brings the unsettling nature of hidden London to light in this oscilloscope animation with accompanying audio.
The Tunnel Vision installation by Sprankenstein, artist, animator, explores the hidden history of underground London, and speculates on the city’s future. Through a series of meetings and discussions, the artist took inspiration from the work carried out by engineers from Mott MacDonald, Buro Happold, and research carried out at Imperial College, London South Bank University, and Cullinan Studio.
Sprankenstein’s installations combine technology with animation to bring ideas to life. She has created a large-scale tunnel for an immersive experience, taking us on a journey from Victorian London, through to a dystopian vision of the future in 2050.
Sprankenstein’s imagining of London below ground is a vivid and high impact interpretation, filled with imitation fatbergs, groups of London bricks, and oscilloscope animations projected across the spaces.
Tunnel Vision is being held at Resort Studios, Margate, and will be open to visitors with ticketed time slots during Margate Festival.
Megacity London is an online season running Monday 21st - Sunday 27th September exploring the city’s future through the lens of engineers and artists, as London’s population rises above 10 million. This project is supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering.
