'Travel Further Luminary' is a reactive art installation for Transport For London. We used p5.js, Touch Designer and Lovable to create the interactive digital brand activation that allowed commuters to create unique printable art during their commute,
Travelling Further Liminlly For years we admired artists who bend code into visual form. Computational artists who write instructions for machines to draw, sculpt and render ideas that only exist in imagination. Before AI assisted coding tools, we were simply observers of that practice. While building Momento, our data platform for galleries and museums, we became closer to a community of generative artists. Plotter artists, 3D designers, VFX producers and computational creators who treat code as a creative material. Watching these practitioners revealed something powerful. Algorithms can become brushes, robots can become painters, and systems can produce work that is never the same twice. When AI assisted coding tools such as Lovable emerged, we saw an opportunity to move from spectator to participant. The result was our first piece of computational artwork titled Travelling Further Liminlly. The piece draws inspiration from daily journeys across London’s transport network. Passing conversations, fragments of sound, fleeting thoughts and the rhythm of movement through the city are translated into generative motion. Underground routes and rail lines weave together in unpredictable sequences, forming patterns that never repeat. The first version was written while waiting for a train at Edgware Road station. Inspiration came from a mural on the side of a nearby building. Something that had likely been there for years suddenly revealed a new idea. The work became a way of digitising that familiar yet unnoticed moment within the city. For us, this project represents a shift. Code not only as infrastructure or product, but as a creative medium capable of capturing fleeting experiences and turning them into generative form.
