"Peninsula" is a two-year programme of artists' commissions on the Greenwich Peninsula. The area has seen much change and is due to undergo further dramatic development in the next few years. "Peninsula" aims to engage the diverse and separated local communities of the peninsula, some old and some emerging, in investigating the area and the significance of the changes. The commissions will bring together local people to explore new territories, cross boundaries and make new links and connections that can be sustained in the future. Digital technology will be at the heart of these commissions. The programme will create a wireless infrastructure that will allow local people to engage with the project in many ways and from many locations. Artist-led projects will utilise this technology alongside other approaches such as mapping, psycho-geography, community information and collaboration to engage with the peninsula and its communities.

Greenwich Emotion Map - Sept 2005-March 2006

Community (1), Nov 2005-March 2006
