Alternative Platform - Jon Adams

Thursday 11th and Friday 12th October 2007

 

Jon Adams worked onboard with rail passengers to create web-based maps of personal journeys in the style of the network rail map. His work explores sense and sensitivity. He transforms or repositions simple everyday language, objects and experiences to hide or reveal perceptions, beliefs or convey messages.
