Nowville

A place where everyone’s say matters

Nowville is an immersive installation exploring memory, place, and collective experience within the city.

An evolving interactive paper city. A stage upon which to play out the politics of how we live together.

Presented in the Arcade of Bush House for two months in 2018, Nowville was an evolving interactive sculpture that told the story of a future city.

Bridging immersive storytelling with public engagement, this project  combined research-led practice with hands-on participation, creating a space where audiences could both experience and actively shape the work. Beginning as a blank canvas of a paper model city, this silent metropolis—empty apart from rows of ghostly buildings, blank billboards and winding streets—was transformed into a collective vision of the future by the staff and students of Kings College London.

“You are invited to help build the city of Nowville—the evolving miniature metropolis that will play out your utopian dreams. Come and sign up as a citizen and move your tiny avatar through the city’s streets, ride its railway and project your fantasies on its glowing billboards.”
