london design festival: at the 2016 london design festival, morag myerscough and luke morgan’s ‘sign machine’ acts as a playful disruption at the bulgari hotel. juxtaposing calm and chaotic, the kinetic installation opens a dialogue between the user and the components of the structure and its surroundings. when people sit in the machine and rotate the series of rods, signs and objects will begin to intermingle, creating longer messages.
