'The Quiet Enchanting'

On display on the external façade of Bush House South West Wing, King’s College London, The Strand

6am – Midnight Daily

Acclaimed design studio Superflux and King’s Culture present 'The Quiet Enchanting', an installation of digitally generated artworks displayed along the newly pedestrianised Strand Aldwych from 17 October 2023.

As visitors walk along the Strand, 'The Quiet Enchanting' places them in a speculative world where the surrounding Borough of Westminster has been rewilded. A series of digital screens and printed artworks, installed on the external façade of Bush House South West Wing, imagine a mythic time of ecological abundance, where London’s recognisable landmarks exist in harmony with the natural world.

'The Quiet Enchanting' supports King’s Climate and Sustainability action plan, which seeks to accelerate climate research, education and action across the University with the aim of influencing climate adaption and enabling just and fair transitions to net zero.
