Feel The Sound
immersive exhibition, Barbican Centre

How does sound—through its materiality, immateriality—act as a form of resistance and open up deeper questions of agency?





Feel the Sound is a new multi-sensory immersive exhibition that transforms how we think about sound, taking place at the Barbican Centre in London, UK. Taking place across the Centre, visitors can explore how sound shapes emotions, memories, and even physical sensations. Feel the Sound challenges us to listen not just with our ears, but with our whole bodies – redefining what we hear, how we feel, and what we think we know about ourselves.

Together with artist Nicole L'Huillier, I curated two immersive ‘Playgrounds’—Embodied Listening and Sonic Machines—inviting visitors to explore sound not just as something we hear, but something we feel, shape, and share. These spaces invite visitors to pause, listen, and engage with sound in radically different ways — through vibrating plates, instruments powered by magnets and AI, installations that sonify environmental data, and reimagined South American sonic technologies.  

The Playgrounds feature works by: Amor Muñoz, Jan St. Werner with Gascia Ouzounian, Evelyn Glennie, Ryuichi Sakamoto & Daito Manabe, Ale Hop & Tatiana Heuman, Ei Wada / ELECTRONICOS FANTASTICOS!, Intelligent Instruments Lab, Holly Herndon, and Yuri Suzuki.

The exhibition will be on view in London until August 31 and will then tour internationally
