No... YES! 

This has nothing to do directly with design, but I thought I'd mix it up because I wanted to watch this. 

Thankful. 

Ps. The GPS systems suck too! 

Bob and Roberta Smith Love 2012. Bob and Roberta Smith use the immediacy of language to create hand-painted signs on pieces of found wood. These signs - painted in the style of community action banners, street signs, and fun fair posters - relay direct and often humorous messages. Taking the values of the Paralympic Games as a starting point, Bob and Roberta Smith propose the core elements of the athlete experience: courage, inspiration, love, and of course 

Bridget Riley Rose Rose. Bridget Riley is one of the most original painters of our time and is celebrated for her optically vibrant paintings. By manipulating relationships between colours and shapes, she creates illusions of movement and light. For her Olympic print, Riley has arranged colours in horizontal stripes, indicating the direction of athletic tracks or swimming lanes. The relationships between the colours create a sensation of movement capturing the energy of sport and the Olympic Games.

This interface would be easier to understand it they installed a calendar system. This would make the time and date availability clearer. Green could indicate the days and times each room within Norlin are available. Red could indicate that the room is taken. Each building should have a different site, so the intrusions would not be come complicated. 

Chris Ofili For the Unknown Runner. Chris Ofili creates paintings inspired by personal experience, race, folklore, biblical narrative, and, for the last few years the island of Trinidad where he lives. In For the Unknown Runner a figure, somewhere between super-athlete and mythical being, sprints past a watching crowd. The figure is framed by a vase motif - a reference to the Ancient Olympic Games, which provided an arena for artistic and cultural expression as well as sporting excellence. For the Unknown Runner is a powerful dedication to both Olympic history and the future stars of the London 2012 Games.

Martin Creed - Work No. 1273 In a visually saturated world, artists can be faced with seemingly endless possibilities and choices. In response, Martin Creed imposes simple rules on his creativity. He might create a painting using only paintbrushes bought in a multi-pack, or make only one mark a day with the same felt-tip pen until the whole paper surface is covered. Repetition, stacks, and intervals are familiar motifs in his work, along with ascending and descending structures. For Work No.1273, Creed has made five single brush marks using a palette derived from the Olympic colours. The marks are arranged in an ascending form that seems to represent an extended podium offering places beyond first, second and third. Creed's image can be seen as expressing respect for the excellence of all competing Olympic sportsmen and women.
