We had some deep snow at the start of the month which made the red glow of the screens look very beautiful.
We celebrated Glitch Art with intriguing works that really make you look twice.

Our artist for February Ian Monroe created a series of Equivalencies, exploring Double Decker Buses, blue whales and more, evincing a wonderful humour:

On the 1st of March we launched a season which celebrates the ‘Art of Code’.
A simulation of Conway’s Game of Life in red by Istvang Chung
Partnered with OpenProcessing we invited artists using Processing to create artworks for the Bus-Tops screens. All of the entries can be seen as original sketches at the competition page and you can also see all the entries on Bus-Tops.
Artists using code to create their work are at the edge of a new era of visual arts and we hope they inspire you as much as they do us. The season for Generative art runs throughout March so remember you can still get involved by uploading here.

Arocha+Schraenen will be exhibiting a series of works situated on Bus-Tops near World War II V-2 missile bombing sites.
Entitled ‘All the Umbrellas in London Can’t Stop the Pain’, in reference to a song by the band Magnetic Fields, the works to be exhibited on Bus-Tops throughout London feature abstracted animations that suggest raindrops, video game’explosions’ and reference the Olympic rings.
Keep up with their work as it goes live by following them at Bus-Tops.
