Circle of Sound

Nubia Labs Tres Freqüències | AI & XR Art Incubation | Exhibited at Espronceda Institute of Art & Culture Barcelona & Pavello Mies van der Rohe

The Forest Circle of Sound is an immersive audiovisual installation and performance created by Kat Pegler, creative director, interdisciplinary artist, and researcher working at the intersection of culture, climate, and technology. Her practice explores how imagination can become an infrastructure for change, integrating sound, ecology, and immersive media to design more inclusive and sustainable futures.

The work combines music composed in a flow state, spatial field recordings, and reactive projections of light and water, generating a sensory environment where the audience is invited to feel rather than simply observe. Developed with the support of Arts Council England and VOICE EU, the project investigates neuro-inclusive and ecoacoustic design approaches, offering multiple access routes — sound, vibration, and visual movement — that expand accessibility and foster deeper ecological empathy. The work has been presented in the NUBIA LAB INCUBATION AI MÓNS 2025 edition at ESPRONCEDA, Institute of Art and Culture.

People are invited to interact with different elements of greying nature and with each piece that they touch, an element of music plays until the forest slowly comes to life as a symphony filled with colour. I have been creating and composing this both in reality and virtual reality, exploring the impact of nature-human connection through individual and collective experience.
