Listening Transmissions
This piece was part of the series Nocturnal Walkthroughs. It invited visitors to engage with John Akomfrah's exhibition Listening All Night to the Rain at the Thyssen, Madrid, through sound. Participants used microphones and short-range radio transmitters to transmit sonic responses around the space.

As we moved around the gallery, we entered different zones of broadcasts, blending with the works and forming unique layers of transmission and delay. The activity invited visitors to explore the interplay of receiving and transmitting, and to consider how listening and sounding together shapes the experience of the exhibition.
