The 7/7 bomb attacks on London in 2005 are understood to have been committed by 4 individuals, motivated by a specific ideology. This understanding of 7/7 has produced change in our law, policing, politics and social structure. However there are other versions of 7/7 that also exist beyond mainstream media and society.
Our project creates a space for an investigation into the co-existence of different media and anti-media versions of 7/7. We both propose and question the possibility of a 7/7 timeline. A chronology allows information from the Cabinet Office, mainstream media opinion and accepted facts to be juxtaposed with conspiracy theories, narratives of resistance and accusations of elite crimes against democracy within a single non-hegemonic space. We are not producing new texts about 7/7. There is already so much information circulating that we see little point in adding to the unknowable data mountain about 7/7.
The space we will create aims to facilitate fresh understanding of the information already out there. We are not expressing our opinions about 7/7.

The present epoch will perhaps be above all the epoch of space. We are in the epoch of simultaneity: we are in the epoch of juxtaposition, the epoch of the near and far, of the side-by-side, of the dispersed. We are at a moment. I believe, when our experience of the world is less that of a long life developing through time than that of a network that connects points and intersects with its own skein. (Michel Foucault "Des Espace Autres" 1967)
