Experimental Audio Guide Workshop

Contribute to a polyvocal, experimental audio guide of the Borough Road Collection Archive. The workshop is free but spaces are limited, reserve your spot here.

The Borough Road Collection Archive is a platform for experimentation, creative annotation and unexpected encounters with an online collection. The selection of digital objects includes images of Modern British artworks from A David Bomberg Legacy - The Sarah Rose Collection, archival material from London South Bank University, as well as contemporary artworks that respond to the collection, documentation and event records.

We are inviting participants to read and edit descriptions of online artworks that are documented in the wiki. We will add scripts and scores to the texts that we worked with, trying out individual and collective narration with our voices. Finally, we will record our contributions and upload them in the wiki to enrich the audio guide of the Borough Road Collection Archive.

The platform was built by media artist Artemis Gryllaki and curator/researcher Theresa Kneppers as part of her research with the Centre for the Study of the Networked Image using a media wiki. The workshop will be run in collaboration with media artist Artemis Gryllaki.

The workshop will take place online. No previous experience is needed to attend.
