In London, crowd funding is being used to finance innovative public spaces projects such as The Line art walk along the River Lee. "Quantum Cloud" by Antony Gormley (pictured above) was commissioned for the North Meadow Sculpture Project in celebration of the millennium. Evoking the quantum age, and suggesting an unstable relation between energy and mass, it questions whether the body is produced by the field or the field by the body.

The Line links the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and The O2 along the waterways in East London. "Vulcan" by Eduardo Paolozzi (pictured above) depicts Vulcan, the Roman god of fire and metalworking, shown brandishing the blacksmith's hammer. The figure is half man and half machine, a possible commentary on the sometimes grueling work of a sculptor.

Standing permanently on the foreshore of the Thames, "A Slice of Reality" by Richard Wilson is a 1/8th slice of what was originally the Arco Trent, an ocean-going sand dredger. Wilson describes the work as a "sound bite", communicating Greenwich's rich maritime history, whilst referencing the manner in which the line of the Meridian slices through the Greenwich Peninsula.<br />
