Bats in Space! Jeremy Deller’s bat walks will enable you to listen and see the incredible sounds of bats flying around the Olympic Site, through mobiles, tablets and special microphones.
The map will be constantly updated with sightings from guided bat walks along the Greenway, in East London. By clicking on the tags, you can see information on the bats and hear a sample of their calls.
Take a look at the website to view the spectograms of the bat calls recorded so far and listen to the sounds of bats and insects. All sounds and images provided by Prof. Kate Jones (UCL)
Walks take place from 3-13th July. Tickets: £5 (£3 Concessions). To book click here.
An ethereal, floating cloud inside a gallery. ‘Nimbus’ is a new installation of Amsterdam-based artist Berndnaut Smilde in the HMK { HotelMariaKapel }, an artist residency programme in the Netherlands, with a presentation space in a 15th century chapel. He created the installation by ‘combining smoke, moisture and dramatic lighting’. Literature says, “Be on time, the experiment only lasts for a few minutes.”

Greek artist Petros Vrellis creates an interactive version Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night, through the use of open source C++ toolkit openFrameworks. The painting’s brush strokes are animated and the user can temporarily play with and change the painting.
Folly For a Flyover: a building trapped under the east and westbound lanes of the A12, hosting a six week programme of waterside cinema, performance and play.
Hand-built with local, reclaimed and donated materials, inspired by the local council estates and red-brick buildings of Hackney Wick, it poses as an imaginary piece of the area’s past.
Launching on 24 June, events include bug hotel building using Olympic Park waste materials, a 30 piece East London Brass Band performance and a spectacular family party hosted by Disco Loco.
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, the building’s over-sized outdoor steps will double as an auditorium to host a programme of screenings and performances, from animation classics including early Disney through to experimental films including 2001 Space Odessy and Tron (1982) with a live remixed sound track.
Folly for a Flyover is conceived, designed and constructed by Assemble CIC, and programmed with the support of The Barbican Art Gallery’s summer exhibition, Watch Me Move. Assemble CIC’s last project, The Cineroleum was a pilot project demonstrating the potential for the wider creative re-use of UK’s 4000 empty petrol stations.
.@johannabasford of crowdsourced Twitter Picture fame, is now taking on Starbucks and will (hopefully) be designing their 2011 Christmas cup. Her cross-Atlantic story links up a great creative idea with general hounding of @starbucksukmd via Twitter and real-world perseverance from Johanna. She previously designed the cover for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme using the #Fringecover hashtag, asking people what they wanted to see at the festival - and then bringing these ideas to life by hand-drawing them.
‘Dead Drops’ a project by Berlin based artist Aram Bartholl. An anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in public space - USB flash drives cemented into walls, buildings and curbs. You are invited to go to these places (so far 5 in NYC) to drop or find files on a dead drop. Plug your laptop to a wall, house or pole to share your files and data.
