ZEPPELIN NIGHTS: LONDON IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR
Thursday 18 September
6pm-8pm  at Morley College, 61 Westminster Bridge Road; 1p
As part of its 125th anniversary celebrations Morley College
is reviving the Victorian 'Penny Lectures' which led to the
setting up of the college. The first is delivered by
Professor Jerry White. For most of us the very thought of
�London at war� means just one thing � the Blitz. That
extraordinary drama so dominates the idea of wartime London
that it is hard to imagine the city and its people affected
in any special way by the war of 1914-18. The truth is much
more interesting. From the moment war was declared at 11pm
on Tuesday 4 August 1914 London became the hub of an
ever-enlarging leviathan of total war. Londoners almost
without exception, were caught up body and soul in its maw.
In this Penny Lecture, Professor White explores how the war
utterly dominated the city�s life, changing everything � not
just for those four-and-a-quarter years of the most
destructive war that human history had ever witnessed but
for generations after. Even in the twenty-first century
Londoners still live with many of the consequences of the
First World War.

DANCE MACHINES
Thursday 18 September to Sunday 19 October
Wed-Sun 12 noon-7pm at 88 Borough High Street, 88 Borough
High Street; free
British visual artist Peter William Holden combines art and
music with science via robotic engineering. For MERGE
Festival 2014, tap dancing robots will bring a disused
building to life with a symphony of rhythms activated by the
public at the control panel. Adventurous spectators can
reinvent the piece and create their own composition using
sixteen switches to trigger short sequences of sound and
movement. A second robotic installation is inspired by the
The Industrial Revolution. The motion of the machine
emphasises the relentless movement of progress as the
machine moves to its predetermined program, ignorant of its
environment and unwilling to stop if anything gets in its
way. Peter William Holden lives and works in Leipzig,
Germany. Holden is an installation artist influenced by
electronic subculture and street culture. His practice
focuses on the transformation of objects, utilising his
knowledge of applied mathematics. He makes kinetic
sculptures and movies, which have been presented at numerous
exhibitions and festivals around the world.
