For the inauguration of the Channel Communication Amplifiers, we anticipate an extraordinary event that will take place simultaneously on both sides of the Channel. Performers and politicians from both France and the UK will perform in front of each mirror while communicating across the sea, and the event will be relayed acoustically to audiences on both sides of the Channel.

The project has received considerable and positive media coverage – internationally, and across the UK national media. A television documentary about the making of the project is in production and several radio programmes in development.

During 2001 Lise Autogena and Joshua Portway produced As Far As The Eye Can See - a short documentary, documenting a journey to the Dungeness peninsula in search of information about the forgotten Acoustic Mirrors from between the two world wars, locally known as “the listening ears”. The journey portrays a still and otherworldly place where everything, including time itself seems to dissolve into the vast surrounds of sky, sea and shingle. Fragments of research, recollections and memories of people in the area tells the story of a unique, isolated place and of the slowly disintegrating sound mirrors.
