Sometimes when things don't got to plan, it actually works in your favour - as in this case. We've been making plans for de-installation of the post, and during email conversations with Tony Allerston at the Victoria, he invited us to leave the post in place for a while longer. This is great for us, as an extended showing means an extended testing of the design and technology. But more important is that the invitation came unprompted from staff, who are the people encountering the post every day, and who would be the first point of contact for the public if they have issues or problems with it (and the first people to remind us about taking it down if it was a problem for staff themselves). Tony has mentioned that he has been watching people coming across the post and he has been generating interest in it, a fantastically supportive approach.

Integration with people, as well as with places, is for us a crucial aspect of siting our work in public places; although this is not a permanent installation, it's great to know we've not outstayed our welcome. The post will now be in place until 27 July.
