Please note that this event is designed for adult participants, 18 and older. We will be working outside on the riverbank so please wear warm clothes and waterproof shoes with good grip. If you have any access needs, please let us know on ahouseforartists@createlondon.org About the artist: Working under the name Action Pyramid, Tom Fisher's projects vary from site-specific sound installations for galleries and museums, to experimental sound works, radio, documentary film and music. Utilising a multitude of recording techniques, often aimed at exploring and re-interpreting the seemingly unnoticed and unheard elements of our surroundings, he looks to present compositional and spatial expressions of these phenomena in a way that attempts to offer up alternative perspectives regarding perceptions of scale, hierarchical bias and the interconnectedness of living things. He has performed and exhibited his work internationally and attended residencies in Iceland and the Finnish arctic.
