information mapping systems are fun.
Silent London - Using information the government has collected on noise levels within London, a map has been plotted of the capitals most silent spaces. The map intends to reveal a hidden landscape of quiet spaces and shows an alternate side of the city that would normally go unnoticed.

the paper record player is cool too.
FM RADIO MAP - This map plots the location of FM commercial and pirate radio stations within London.The poster
works in its own right as a piece of information design, but when connected to the modified radio
it becomes part of the interface. Each map is made site specific by connecting only the stations that
can be received in that location. This is done by drawing power lines in pencil on the back of the map,
which conducts electricity from the radio to the front of the poster.Placing a metal contact onto each
point enables us to listen to the sound broadcast live from that location.
sound and notation translated to drawing (looks like those drawings in the other thread):
