The London Hieroglyphics Project is a random attempt to spread an idea. A set of symbols, or hieroglyphics, were created with each one representing an idea or emotion. From there keys explaining the symbols were thrown out into the wild, along with a fistful of stencils and other scattered objects, the general idea being that anyone who wanted to could, using the symbols offered up, mark a place where they felt that their lives had changed.

The big dream is that people will use the symbols, or whatever signs and designs they want, to show their lives taking place in their city, show the near infinite mix of emotions and ideas which pass through London every minute of every day and show that real lives, our lives, are everywhere around us, not reflected in the ads and imposed landscape of where we find ourselves.

Why? Why not really.
