Pindices was a collaboration with sociologist Andrew Barry (then director of the Centre for the Study of Invention and Social Process at Goldsmiths, now at Oxford University Centre for the Environment). This practice-led project sought to design means for making political activity visible, but not in in the ways typically measured by polling agencies or using the normal methods of social science. Rather than looking at political  ideologies, institutions, groups or identities, we started with the individual and their acts. We invited participants to make public a reckoning of their everyday political and citizenship activity. The main devices are button badges with phrases describing different acts (eg I recycled, I said what I believe) to which people could help themselves. The badges were arranged in 2m-high plastic tubes which from a distance resemble physical bar charts. As people take the badges, the levels in the tubes vary presenting an aggregate view of political activity.
