City Wide Engagement

The birthplace of Hello Lamp Post, “Hello Bristol” launched in the summer of 2013 as our very first deployment, following our win of the Watershed Playable City Prize. We were tasked with transforming the city's existing infrastructure into a canvas for playful community interactions. This initiative invited residents and visitors to share their stories and engage in conversations with everyday street objects such as benches, bus stops and bins.
