The team behind the first digital art exhibition on the XTP Underground screens, are back in January with their latest moving image exhibition, Word in Motion.

Smile for London invited London’s budding and established poets to uplift and inspire commuters during the bleakest month of the year with poems or prose of up to 40 words.
The pieces are being transformed by leading motion artists into 20-second-typographic-films, to be screened on the Underground platform screens for two weeks from 16th January 2012.
Taking it’s cue from the seeming indifference to literature and the written word during the London riots, Word in Motion aims to reinvigorate an interest in poetry and writing as well as amuse and visually inspire.
They have brought together a fantastic group of writers from the world of literature and music as well as some hugely creative and innovative motion artists and film makers including Smile for London veterans from our first exhibition, plus leading typographers and illustrators.

They also received some fantastic submissions from writers in response to an online request for contributions. These were judged by Bang Said The Gun, Jarvis Cocker, Cerys Matthews, Murray Lachlan Young and Mark One, BAFTA winning director and creative director.
