London's Lungs
Wednesday
24 February 2010
19:00 - 20:45
Nipping outdoors for a breath of fresh air? But is it really fresh - how do you rate London’s air? Is the air you’re breathing right now better or worse than the air outside, and how does it compare with other areas of London?
What will we find in your bag of air? Could there really be a difference between your gaseous loot and someone else’s from the next neighbourhood? Our artistic visualisations of these samples will reveal the truth.
Find out more about the stuff that we breathe in every day, and feel free to reward yourself at our fully licensed bar if we find that your air sample is the most polluted...
When you pre-book for the event, ask to sign up as a participant and you will be given information about receiving a plastic bag in which you can gather a sample of your local air. When you bring this bag into the Dana Centre on 24 February, we will sample the air in the bag and map the data we gather live on a giant map of London.
