Our Memoryphones installation took place last weekend all over Oxford and was a great success, with hundreds of people tuning into the interactive sculptures to hear our themed sets of recordings and reimaginations – here are some photographic highlights. You can hear the sounds from the installations over on the Memoryphones page.

"As this wave from memories flows in, the city soaks it up like a sponge and expands. A description of [the city] as it is today should contain all [the city's] past. The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning rods, the poles of the bags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indentations, scrolls."
