A Newsleak publication from London

Newsleak is not an art project.
It is a motivated functional hybrid of real and digital cultures and media. Press a button on a pink box in the urban environment to instantly receive a printed summary of the latest news from around the world, news of your current location, news of internet cultures, events, trends and social media. Newsleak acts as an urban intervention, a transitory media output device that provides a snapshot of local and global culture and happenings at the press of a button. It is light, consumable, disposable media.


Our aim is to cultivate a functional exchange between real space and virtual space, and showing how each space can augment and support the other.
In the same vein as a traditional newspaper, Newsleak has a target audience, a distinct style and type of content, and specific intervals and methods of distribution. Most publications are fundamentally focused on the target audience, and the target audience is defined by the content and distribution.



As our everyday life begins to exist more in virtual spaces, and information about how we behave and act in these spaces is made more readily available, the more we should reflect and report about it: the more, ‘we‘ should pertain to people active in both spaces.

Our main aims for Newsleak were the following:

1st Aim
Newsleak is a functional publication for the target audience.

2nd Aim
Newsleak effectively represents both cyberspace and real space and they are perceivable in the publication.

3rd Aim
The publication is seen as a functional alternative to traditional print news and free tabloids.
