Edinburgh Wall is a physical manifestation of the invisible city around us; a poetic snapshot of social networking traffic from within a five-mile radius of the Royal Scottish Academy. Over a twenty-day period, publicly available status updates from popular websites like twitter/x, mastodon or bluesky will be selected then published as an array of typeset fly posters revealing the mutterings of ourselves to ourselves as a form of concrete poetry. Edinburgh Wall is a clunky cottage industry, where the artists manually manufacture a collision of public digital space with the public physical space of the museum. It is also the latest in a series of performative installations which began in 2010 at the Museum of London.
