Elspeth (Billie) Penfold is the producer of A different LENS, an interactive map, created with the artist group Thread and Word. The map uses locative media to create a rich interactive experience in and around Margate (UK). A different LENS is one of the shortlisted works for the Sound Walk September 2020 Awards.

On November 10, Billie and four of her creative colleagues, Jack Lowe, Sonia Overall, Virginia Fitch and Phoebe McIndoe, who participated in A different LENS, offered a menu at a long table where 12 guests take part in a spoken conversation, where additional participants can contribute to the conversation by text chat.

This ‘dinner party’ was capped with a performance by Oliver Fitch, singing ‘Earthly Powers’.
