The Deep Listener by Jakob Kudsk Steensen takes you on an audiovisual ecological expedition through Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, the area surrounding the Serpentine Galleries.

The AR artwork was the inaugural commission of Serpentine Augmented Architecture, in collaboration with Google Arts & Culture and Sir David Adjaye OBE. Downloadable as an app for mobile devices, it is both a site-specific public installation and a digital archive of species that live within the park.

Exploring how imagination, ecology, and technology intertwine, The Deep Listener guides visitors on a journey to both see and hear five species that call London home: London Plane Trees, Bats, Parakeets, Azure Blue Damselflies and Reedbeds. These vital parts of the park's ecosystem might otherwise be invisible.

The installation was showcased at the Serpentine Gallery from July to September 2019.
