Happening tomorrow!

CRiSAP Presents: Electromagnetic Fields: Artistic Research and Radio Waves

Radio Symposium FM and online | 3pm-11pm (GMT+1) Tuesday 9th June 2026

With thanks to the Symposium hosts:

Soundcamp are an arts cooperative based at Stave Hill Ecological Park in Rotherhithe and Work Shop 1 in Loughborough Junction, with members in Glasgow, Berlin, Yorkshire, Crete and The Netherlands. We are interested in diy infrastructures that can move live sounds between places and situations, and give attention to less heard human and non-human communities. Our work appears as live transmissions, workshops, sound devices and events. Current projects include the annual Soundcamp / REVEIL event and broadcast over dawn chorus day each year; an open work shop and radio station at Work Shop 1, LJ:Works, South London; the activist radio series: Radio With Palestine, in collaboration with Radio al Hara; and a sister organisation in Catalunya with Barcelona-based artist pantea (So).

Radio Symposium FM and online | 3pm-11pm (GMT+1) Tuesday 9th June 2026

Performing together as a duo:

Kathy Hinde is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice embraces open methods and evolving processes. Through installations, performances and site specific experiences, she aims to nurture a deeper connection to the more-than-human world.

Lia Mazzari is a sound artist and researcher working with open-source sound transmission technologies in environmental research as unique tools for alternative ‘live’ models of listening, responding to, and composing with more-than-human environments.

CRiSAP Presents: Electromagnetic Fields: Artistic Research and Radio Waves

Radio Symposium FM and online | 3pm-11pm (GMT+1) Tuesday 9th June 2026

Audible infrastructures:

Angus Carlyle explores environments and atmospheres as embodiments of stress and relief, with listening becoming writing, recordings, photographs and films. Powerlines, a CD of recordings of electricity in the Arctic came out in 2024.

The artworks of Claire Williams take the form of woven antennas, glass sculptures filled with plasma or devices that sense the invisible. Data of radio-telescopes, radio scanners and DIY antennas materialise themselves in knitted stitches, sound vibrations or through luminous plasma using real time energies.

Emiddio Vasquez is a Cypriot-Dominican artist, musician and theorist, whose research is shaped by the politics of matter and how they inform sound and computation. His focus on the ways these transform and resonate across media and materialities, doubles as a strategy for engaging with the ideological infrastructures at stake.

Ash Reid is a performer based in London. Her practice uses the concept of ‘historic layering’ as it appears in urban conservation analysis to think about how specific uses of land and changes in social structure relate to, or are mirrored in, contemporary rituals of work, revolt and compliance - in particular, how these relations, similarities or dissonances can be used together as a compositional tool sonically. The research focusses on land use and ownership in British history, attempting to identify specific sounds, texts, rhythms, images and movements from both historic and contemporary periods of crisis, and the links between alterations and use of public space and social control, often played out in moments of festivity, recorded through public broadcast materials like pirate radio or its pre-technological equivalent.

She is currently completing a PhD researching feminist film distributor Cinenova, and teaches on the MFA at Goldsmiths.

Li Yilei is a Chinese-born, London-based artist and composer whose work moves through tacit listening, perceptual thresholds, and the quiet tensions between presence and disappearance. Guided by a quietly mystic approach to sensing, Li treats sound as a porous field of attunement where intuition, resonance, and the barely perceptible begin to speak. Li’s multi-media practice attends to silence, absence, and non-verbal states as active agents that shape perception as much as the audible.
Unfolding through restrained gestures and spectral drift, Li’s compositions often incorporate instruments, objects, spanning tapes, theremins, ethnic instruments, field recordings, self-built devices, and organic materials. Fragments, objects, and transient sites enter the work as momentary anchors within shifting terrains, creating spaces where attention deepens, thresholds blur, and sound becomes a mode of attunement.
Since 2017, alongside releasing music records, Li’s work has spanned performance, installation, and composition for film, theatre, and dance. Their work has been performed and presented and performed internationally at Barbican Centre (UK), King’s Place (UK), Cafe Oto (UK), Nottingham Contemporary (UK), TATE Britain (UK), V&A East Storehouse (UK), ESEA Contemporary (UK), Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes (FR), UCCA Contemporary (CN), Tai Kwun Contemporary (HK), Lincoln Centre (US), MAO Torino (IT), and more.

Moreskinsound is a sound and movement collaboration between Ania Psenitsnikova and David Toop. They focus on the liminality of space, stillness, slowness and silence, approached through improvisation, materials and the nature of space. Their work together encompasses public performance (Japan, Prague, Basel, Tartu, Sydney, Norway, London, etc), photography, video, texts and documented non-public events described as inactions (in Cornwall, Queensland, Norway, Thailand, Estonia).

Ania Psenitsnikova is a visual and performance artist and curator. Born in Estonia, she has travelled and learned butoh dance with Flavia Ghisalberti, Moeno Wakamatsu, Masaki Iwana and Daisuke Yoshimoto. Studying music independently since 1996, she has worked as an aerial dance artist since 2011 and bodywork therapist since 2015.

David Toop is a musician, writer and curator. Artists he has performed with include Ryuichi Sakamoto, Thurston Moore, Sidsel Endresen, Akio Suzuki and Rie Nakajima, along with butoh dancers Mitsutaka Ishii and Min Tanaka. His books include Ocean of Sound, Into the Maelstrom and Sinister Resonance
