TFL

This  paper  explores  the  accessibility  of  the  London  Underground  network.  To  do  so,  we  visualize and  analyse  TfL  Oyster  Card  and  Disabled  Freedom Pass  Oyster  card  data.  We  compare  census  data  of people  with  limited  mobility  with  accessible  station usage.  We  explore  travel  patterns  and  network  load during a typical week. We propose a new Android app that  directs  people  with  limited  mobility  to  accessible stations  nearby,  to  encourage  their  use.  We  explore different kinds of visualisation techniques with video and 3d animation. The visualisation approach to the analysis  of  these  data  proved  very  helpful  in  the  attempt  to understand the measure upon which public transport in 
London is used by people with limited mobility. The use of  smart  ticketing  and  data  recording  of  the  trips provided  by  TfL  enable  a  thorough  research  of urban movement patterns, and allow various interpretations of the  city.  If  rhetorics  towards  a  smart  city  are  in  place 
today,  proclaiming  more  and  more  the  need  of  smart 
technologies,  sensors  and  a  vision  of  a  hybrid,  cyberphysical environment, the analysis of the data that this 
future urban state produces should be treated carefully. If  used  in  the  correct  way,  they  will  be  able  to  reveal 
problems of the modern society that had remained in the dark, helping towards a vision of the desired urban well-being for all. This paper can also serve as a portfolio of different takes on spatial data visualisation.

In this collective article, we argue for a wider recognition of Lily Greenham’s sound poetry, underscoring her artistic uses of multilingualism and transnational collaboration. The form of the article is conceptual: in order to signal the importance given to poetry as a collaborative and transnational activity in Greenham’s oeuvre, we have chosen to write the article in six languages and as a collaboration between six scholars with different backgrounds. The form of the article moreover refects the privilege given to language as material, structure, and activity in Greenham’s works. The purpose of our article is thus twofold: while we seek to initiate an academic reception of Greenham’s works and to highlight these as important contributions to the traditionally male-dominated historiography of sound poetry, we also seek to examine how academic writing can alter its conventional forms in order to address works that are not ideally suited for hermeneutic or exegetic acts of reading.
