Rowena Easton's practice is driven by language: Exploring systems to evolve new narratives and create disruptions using text and technology.

She constructs a poetic space, which investigates the interplay between formal and organic systems. It is through working with language's temporal and spatial qualities, that her interests have been directed into sound.

In recent years her work has become increasingly concerned with architecture and the built environment; a direct result of her involvement with the restoration of Embassy Court, an iconic Modern Movement building in Brighton.
Rowena exhibits internationally, and is currently working on Stories High; a book and touring exhibition about the urban myths that have become an integral part of Embassy Court's architecture.

Machines for Singing is an architectural sound installation which 'plugs in' to a building to record the subsonic and supersonic life of its fabric. Real time audio streams are processed, to create a symphony out of the dynamic interplay of environmental forces with structural elements, and experienced live as the building's own music.

By exploring our relationship with the places we inhabit, and transforming our experience of space, Machines for Singing invites us to think about the built environment in new ways.
The pilot was installed at the Gardner Arts Centre in June for Architecture Week 06.
