ICON: Is Design Hacking a Quiet Revolution?
The current issue of ICON Magazine asks “From backstreet hack-labs to the Royal Society of Arts, design hacking is slowly making its way into the mainstream. But what does it offer?” It’s an interesting read, not least of which because it contains plenty of quotes from yours truly and references to my work with design [...]
Latest book launches in Italy
I’m pleased to share the news that the latest book to feature my work and approach towards urban creativity has just been launched in Italy. The book, Disegnare le città (Drawing cities), is an overview of a more organic and people-driven approach to design, creativity and the city rather than the top-down model that has [...]
Web Browser as Creative Catalyst: Chrome Experiments
Google Creative Labs’ Creative Director Ji Lee emailed me the other day to tell me about Chrome Experiments, a new product Google Creative Labs has just launched. Now that I’ve had time to play with the site and many of the experiments, I have to report out that not only is it all good, but [...]
Magazine feature on “the anti-curator”
I’ve had a decent run in the media lately, which continues with a fairly lengthy article on me in the October issue of EnRoute magazine. It’s interesting that years ago articles were being written about me bringing street art into the gallery, and now the articles are about me bringing the gallery into the streets. [...]
Urban Play in the media
We’re still compiling the fantastic amount of media coverage Urban Play and Experimenta Amsterdam has received over the past few days, but for now, I thought I’d share a very good video done by Dutch “Innovative Lifestyle” magazine Bright on the project. For those who want to see the Moving Forest, well, moving, or get [...]

Berlin Beauty
Was interviewed yesterday by journalist Birgit Rieger for a paper in Berlin and a magazine in Barcelona – nothing like a two-for-one interview. We were discussing guerrilla design (of course) and its role in contemporary urbanism when she mentioned an intervention she came across recently in Berlin. Following the interview she was kind enough to [...]
Piece in Icon
Just hitting the stands now is the 50th issue of Icon, for which they asked me to do a piece on the latest wave of urban interventions. The result, “Customising the City”, is a general overview of some of the guerrilla design being done at the moment around the world. Featuring interviews and images from [...]
Times Interview
A little love from the media to kick off the new year. Nancy Durrant from The Times (UK) interviewed me today about my work with Village Underground in London. Village Underground is a project I’ve been working on with Auro Foxcroft for some time. For those of you in London, if you’ve seen several London [...]
