autogena projects

• Most Blue Skies

  a project that continually identifies the current most blue sky in the world

• Black Shoals Stock Market Planetarium

  a planetarium running on a live feed from the worlds stock markets. Stars in the planetarium represent companies on the markets that move into constellations, galaxies or black holes, depending on the movements on the markets. Trades happening on the stars generate light, which provides food for an ecology of artificial life creatures that live within the starry sky.

• The Sound Mirrors Project

  project inspired by the acoustic mirrors, a military defence system for listening to the sky created between the two world wars. The project is constructing two new sound mirrors – one in England and one in France. The new mirrors will face each other across the English Channel, and will enable the French and the English to speak across the sea.

• The Sound Squad

  a children's think tank set up in support of The Sound Mirrors Project.

• As far as the eye can see

  A video journey to the Dungeness peninsula in search of information about the so-called Acoustic Mirrors, a forgotten acoustic defence experiment from between the two world wars locally known as “listening ears”. Fragments of research, recollections and memories tells the story of a unique, isolated place and of the slowly disintegrating sound mirrors.
