Sound walk

This sound-based artwork is an invitation to look closer at the organic fabric around us through weeds: plants you might overlook every day as they seek sanctuary in walls, reach up from drains and push through cracks in the pavement.

Take a stroll through the town’s streets reimagining these small but determined life forces that exist in tandem with the human spirit.

Lúcia Harley is an artist based in Somerset who creates sculptural interventions and performance. Her work explores the boundaries between inner and outer worlds, our relationship with each other and the environment that surrounds us.

Lúcia recently took part in the Brazilian botanical congress 2023, Belém, presenting her project based on relationships between plants and people.

GPS, geo-poetic system

Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
