City As Material

Tube Torts

Posted in Urban Intervention by Marie on December 2, 2009

tube (N): nickname for the London Underground

tort (n): a wrongful act, not including a breach of contract or trust, that results in injury to another’s person, property, reputation, or the like, and for which the injured party is entitled to compensation

Tube Torts:

1 – wrongful acts commited by riders on the london underground transit system that directly infringe on socially accepted etiquette guidelines for its use

2 – an urban intervention aiming to provide outlets for riders to document infringements committed on the london underground transit system in hopes that doing so will help reduce their frustration and cause a greater awareness among all riders of the expected social etiquette and their implicated compliance

3 – an eBook; your dirty little secret napkin to accompany your tube trials and tribulations that gets recycled into a constructivly critical lexicon of social norms that are expected to be respected from fellow riders
