Stairs, moving (Quicktime required) is a little something I put together while waiting for my train last Thursday. I think it captures the waste and inherent futility of modern life while at the same time throws a few shapes in the direction of the De Stijlists.
No, but really, how much would we save in terms of energy and health bills if we outlawed escalators? Think of the electricity that thing is burning, think of how much fitter we’d all be if we had to walk up a few more stairs.

More!? OK then, but I can't help feeling that this will be a disappointment to you.
I work as a web designer in Belfast, and I live by the sea in a shoe. You can see me here, doing my livejournal pose as idoru called it. If you need to you can email me at carisenda -at- gmail -dot- com.
I see your point, in all it’s artistic glory. But the London Underground would be so much more annoying without ‘em.
(Firstly, I love the multiple White Stripes allusions, nicely done. And harking back to when no one knew them and they were about to break. How clever.)
Damn, I will never be down with this. Moving pictures? It won’t ever catch on.
It depends who pays for the electricity. If I am being forced to by statists, then turn them all off. I wonder if a guerilla campaign of disrupting escalators would capture the public imagination.
The night has a new hero.
