The way we think about getting from A to B has changed massively throughout history, it has especially changed in the past 20 years with the introduction of the satnav and other similar technologies. In many ways we have become too reliant on digital crutches to navigate the world for us, forgetting how to interact with our surroundings in a meaningful way. In this project, I have explored how live data can be integrated into physical signage to enhance wayfinding and spatial conceptualisation. The two major installations are:
- Theme Park Queue Time Indicator ("How Long’s the Wait")
- Toilet Use Counter ("Faeces Unseen")
The project hints at a playful curiosity about the future of personalised signage and ambient information, imagining a world where everyday environments quietly respond to us, blending data and design in ways that feel intuitive, giving us space to enjoy our environments far away from any digital distraction.
Final work
How Long’s the Wait
Thorpe Park has recently introduced an app that displays live queue times for its rides. I have reimagined this digital data as a physical experience by integrating real-time queue information into an animated signage. By translating screen based updates into a tangible, ambient display, the sign allows visitors to stay immersed in the park’s environment, free from the constant need to check their phones when deciding which rollercoaster to ride next.

Faeces Unseen
Lets reconsider one of humanity’s great levellers: the act of using the toilet. Blurring the boundaries between artwork and infrastructure, data and defecation, I’ve transformed a functional toilet into a living counter of collective presence. The piece prompts viewers to confront the systems, bodily, technological, and institutional, that quietly shape our daily existence. Is this data? Is it sculpture? Is it absurd? The work doesn’t insist on a singular answer. Instead, it sits quietly, counting.
