Highlights
A Common Third
In A Common Third, Simon Pope explores walking as a collaborative, intellectual, and social process. Inviting guests to navigate unfamiliar terrains together, Pope investigates how shared decisions, landscapes, and cultural practices shape both the journey and the experience of being together.
iAmbic Pedometer: Ur Manoeuvre
iAmbic Pedometer is an iPhone video of Brennan walking through Sunderland, mixing ambient sound with murmured, poetic utterances. Drawing on Wordsworth, Schwitters, and the idea of the ur, it links language’s sonic origins to the rhythm of walking.
Drift
Drift is a site-specific GPS-based sound installation exploring wandering, disorientation, and the limits of GPS. Visitors traverse a shifting 2 km² space of sand, sea, and interactive sounds, where footsteps, spoken word, and tides create a playful, unpredictable experience of place.
Guide To Getting Lost
Guide to Getting Lost by Jennie Savage is a 30-min audio walk inviting participants to explore familiar spaces differently, blending real and fictional sounds. Walkers interpret directions uniquely, navigate at their own pace, and choose how closely to follow the guide.
It Takes a Year to Walk Around the Sun
It Takes a Year to Walk Around the Sun is a looped moving-image installation using a floor-projected, rhythmic, disorienting video to evoke physical and psychological immersion. It developed from a year-long performative Instagram project.
