Voice of Trees (Silver Birches, Tate Modern)

An experimental audio exhibition by three BAFA Y2 students at Chelsea College of Art.

[sense]prompting :: on accidental urban encounters ismini gatou, 2025 [sense]prompting unfolds as a process of attentive sensing, through the exploration of ‘overhearing’ as a form of care and presence, and as a way of attuning to the sociopolitical, material, and more-than-human agents that shape the city-nature assemblage. What do we hear and where? How do we hear (do we hear?) silence, or through silence? Whose voices inhabit the streets we pass through, and what infrastructures, vibrations, and non-human murmurs lie beneath our feet? Can hearing be another form of listening? Developed from a distance, the work is conceived as a research–relational–imaginative procedure of a public space in which the artist is not physically present, yet which is encountered as a process, through the resonances of the spaces she imagines and virtually visits (via Google Maps and online material), as well as of the spaces she inhabits daily; the dense, multicultural neighbourhoods of central Athens. The sensorial textures of these two urban sites, Athens and London, echo and contrast, revealing their differing rhythms, economies, and entanglements. The artwork unfolds through two interrelated forms. ~ a (sense)prompter loop, positioned by the gallery window, inviting both the exhibition visitors and passersby to attend to their own accidental over-hearings and to possibly contribute short field or vocal recordings. These fragments gradually form a collective archive of the area’s public-private sensorial and affective encounters. ~ a (walk)attuning piece extends this gesture beyond the gallery space, weaving voices and urban textures from both cities into an evolving, situated experience. [sense]prompting reimagines the practice of accidental, sensory encountering as a different way of inhabiting, relating, and co-producing the urban, in process. ----------------------------------- Processing Process ~ No EnD In Site Concept and research by Korina Pavlidou · Curated in collaboration with Raisa Desypri · Produced by ASTRO Open: 12 December 2025 – 17 January 2026 Hypha Studios Gallery 3 / No. 1 Poultry, London EC2R 8EN Processing Process ~ No EnD In Site brings together a transdisciplinary group of artists exploring relationality, transformation, and the dynamics of process at the intersection of social research, the life sciences, and biotechnology. Conceived and developed from the research of Korina Pavlidou and articulated through her framing of Process-Oriented Ontology, the show is curated in collaboration with Raisa Desypri and produced by ASTRO. The exhibition features twelve international artists (in alphabetical order): Grayson Earle (@prismspecs); Sasha Engelmann (@sasha_intheair); Jonn Gale (@balkanjonn); Ismini Gatou (@ismini_gatou); Klio Maniati (@kokomania); Katerina Markoulaki (@cath_ki); Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos (@picpoet); Peter Polak (@sicknessinternational); Luiza Prado (@luizap); Xristina Sarli (@xristinasarli); Dan Venn (@dan.venn) and Lizzy Yarwood (@zil_doorway).

My idea is to make available some very successful exhibitions at the Tate Modern along the Thames. This sound walk uses rare recordings of poets and artists, sounds and much more on one of the most intriguing promenade in London. My first walk along the Thames begins at the Tate Modern and is dedicated to Bruce Nauman and his sound installation Raw Materials (2005). Nauman brought together 22 recordings of texts taken from earlier works that span almost 40 years of his career. Walking through the Thames you can now listen again to the disembodied voices that speak to you, or maybe just to themselves, in a variety of styles. Throughout, the tone of voice, the inflection, and variations in rhythms dramatically shift meanings, from diplomatic to psychotic, pleading to bullying, anxiety to mockery.

St Dunstans in The East has a rich 900 year history. We invite you to explore the ruins and listen to these audio accounts.

Be kind to your mind, take a moment to linger and let your brain reset with these pleasing ASMR soundscapes.

A walk around Leadenhall Market in the City of London, soundtracked with poems on the theme of love, read by members of the Leadenhall community Charlie Carter and Frances Lea. Note: poems will auto trigger as you enter each 'sound sphere', and will stop when you leave it. Poems will play again each time you re-enter.
