Du Chen
Chen Du is a multimedia artist from Wuhan, now based in London. She explores the connection between objects and emotions, blending digital media, sound, and interaction to create immersive experiences that evoke personal and collective memories.
My audio piece starts and ends with the sounds of Kings Cross—bird calls and train noises. In between, voices from Wuhan’s streets appear, bringing the two cities together. I play different guitar chords to mimic water. The canal in Kings Cross has a steady, gentle flow, while the Yangtze River in Wuhan is deep and powerful. These sounds blend, creating a connection through water and memory.

I submerged my phone in the KC canal. The audio is overlaid with GoPro audio from a dive I completed in June, and a poem regarding water and connection, written around the same time. The poem is spliced in such a way that it responds to the recording my dad sent me from home. Each time my dad covered the microphone with his hand (e.g over seconds 7-9) I have included the 7th and 9th words of the poem. The sound explores connectivity through water and cultural becoming and glitching.

Tara Jordan
Tara Jordan is a London-based artist currently studying MA Fine Art in UAL: Central Saint Martins who believes the artifacts left behind from processes of self-creation are often messages from the unconscious. Through sculptural interventions, viewers are invited to engage with these artifacts, blurring the lines between performer and audience. This participatory approach emphasizes the performance of the self as key to its existence.
“Imbolc” follows the handover of seasons within Irish mythology. Cailleach is seen collecting sticks on a fine day in early February. She will build a fire with these, and will not hand her season of storm over to Brigid’s springtime. Using a synthesised voice, the story disintegrates over time as realities glitch, abstract, and disappear. How does oral history survive as a cultural identity once personhood is transplanted? Is it possible to reconnect without direct access to the land? Can pilgrimage be enacted at a distance?

With a background in dance from P.A.R.T.S., they explore the intersections of movement, technology, visual arts, and socio-political discourse, advocating for underprivileged artists and engaging in cross-disciplinary collaborations.
My sound explores contrasts between stillness and movement, industry and nature. I worked with field recordings to capture how places breathe—how the steady hum of a train station differs from the restless rhythm of waves, or how the metallic echoes of industry contrast with the organic pulse of crickets at night. By layering these sounds, I highlight the hidden rhythms of spaces, revealing how environments shape our sense of time and presence. This soudnds invites for deep listening, tuning into the subtle shifts between human-made and natural soundscapes.

The water brings the voices of my home. Colombia’s loud, joyful energy, fast conversations, music, street sounds, flows into Costa Rica’s slower, softer rhythms, birds, distant laughter, plates clinking. These sounds drift through Regent’s Canal, mixing with the hush of London footsteps on the towpath, boats passing, the occasional gust of wind. Like an echo from somewhere else, the sound moves with the water never still, always arriving.

Underwater sound is a "borderless" sound, it can appear all over the world, but it gives people a similar auditory experience. The formation of memories often depends on repetition, and the sound of fountains in different places can be subconsciously associated with different places. Even in different countries, similar voices can make people feel an invisible connection.
The sound of fountain water is a "borderless" sound. It can appear all over the world, but it gives people a similar auditory experience. The sound of the fountain is intermittent, crisp, active and attracts attention, so the audio combines the sound of the fountain in front of Chinese schools with relaxing Chinese chat to create a leisure moment in front of fountains in other countries on kingscross.

Sounds recorded as a parallel of the canal walk in the center of town in Indianapolis, Indiana USA. It's extremely cold and snow is on the ground as my parents walk along the canal. The wind is violent and the waterfall from the damn is crashing. The water is warmed for the Koi fish living there. My parents are having conversations and being as they would normally be.

It is a short music piece composed of field recordings from St Pancras Old Church, analog melodies, and vocal harmonies. It depicts a scene where souls of the dead from centuries past suddenly appear in the church during the pauses between bell chimes, only to slowly fade away with the next toll. The composition narrates the history of the churchyard, which was once a burial ground before being excavated for railway construction and explores the subtle dissonance between urbanization, humanity, and nature, ultimately portraying their gradual reconciliation.

My sound idea explores the differences in sound, human relationships, and social interactions between my hometown, Abuja, Nigeria, and London. A walk from my estate’s gate to the bus park in Abuja—just a short distance away—reveals a stark contrast to a typical walk from King’s Cross St. Pancras Station to Granary Square in London. In Abuja, the walk is deeply community-driven; people engage with one another, share conversations, and interact openly. In contrast, London has a more individualistic atmosphere, where people move with a solitary mindset, rarely engaging with those around them.
