LONDONION is a new work commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella for Merzbank, a repository of artists' online works that draw inspiration from Kurt Schwitters.
We have made a free-to-download iPhone App based on Schwitters' poem London Onion (1946). The poem is read by comedian Stewart Lee and the App responds to the random sounds and fluctuating noise-levels of your immediate surroundings. Click on the image above to watch a short video about the making and recording of the piece.
The App was launched recently at Tate Britain and is now available on the App Store to download for iPhone and iPad.
