A Wooden Floor Walk
The ‘Wooden Floor Walk’ took place on 23 August 2024 in a large group house on the edge of the forest in Biel/Bienne (Switzerland). The house is largely made of wood. 18 participants crossed the room very slowly (15 minutes). A wooden floor sound piece was created.
Place-making and the rivers of Lewisham
As we follow the river from Lower Sydenham to Catford Bridge, in Lewisham, South East London, we invite you to think about how these places were made and how people continue to feed into shaping the river and the spaces through which it flows. We’ll be hearing from those who look after it, those who move through it and play in it. To walk with us on the route of the walk, start at the entrance to the Waterlink Way on Southend Lane. We will walk from here to Catford Bridge. From: maps.app.goo.gl/uESVrh6h2YoMsUCQ8 to: maps.app.goo.gl/bQHWhJQgdV9G8iDq8 Otherwise, listen wherever you are!
Untitled | Red Braids
“Untitled | Red Braids” by artist Renée LoBue is an introspective exploration of the digital personas we craft in the age of social media. This audiovisual installation, featuring a fantasy self-portrait paired with a thought-provoking audio narrative, examines the fine line between authenticity and illusion. Through the striking imagery of red braids and a reflective soundscape, LoBue invites audiences to question the curated realities we present online and their effect on our true selves and relationships.

Love Letters to Dugongs: A Walking Postcard
This sound-walk created by Bronwin Patrickson is part Dugong Love Letter, part walking souvenir of a 2023 two week art-science residency engaging with the sparkling ecology of the island, Weaving Waters on Yarun. (Yarun being the traditional name for Bribie Island off the coast of Queensland, on the east coast of Australia, which is shaped just like a Dugong.) The 2023 Weaving Waters Residency facilitated by Tracey Benson and Treecreate Studios brought together a diverse group of artists and scientists from around the world.
Porter une marche
Porter une marche is a participatory artwork which seeks to connect two strangers through walking, using audio from recorded walks. While activating the artwork outdoors, the walker-wearer experiences ambient sounds of both walks so that the two are united across space and time.
