Longplayer was commissioned by Artangel and is in the care of The Longplayer Trust
Over twenty years since Longplayer began playing we are excited to announce two new projects, presented by Artangel, The Longplayer Assembly and Sonic Ray.
Sonic Ray: date t.b.c 2021
Sonic Ray, a new artwork by Jem Finer, will transmit the sound of Longplayer, encoded in a beam of light, from Trinity Buoy Wharf lighthouse, across the Thames, to Richard Wilson’s Slice of Reality.
Visitors will be able to visit both sites, booking information can be found here.
The Longplayer Assembly: 26th September 2020
The Longplayer Assembly, in association with the London Review of Books, brought together 24 distinct voices from around the world in an exchange of ideas about our times; past, present and future. The 12-hour long conversation was streamed live online and introduced by Ansuman Biswas.
You can watch it here.
