Opening Thursday 11 June at SET Vauxhall, By Hand By Eye By Ear is a new group exhibition bringing together analogue and digital DIY sound objects and light installations curated by artist and SET Studio member Jenny Pengilly.
Built from found materials, discarded items, and everyday electronics, the works on display explore how sound and visuals can be coaxed from unexpected sources and overlooked technologies. Rejecting polished interfaces and digital convenience, the participating artists embrace hands-on experimentation, chance encounters, and material limitations as creative drivers.
Surfaces vibrate, circuits respond to natural phenomena, and kinetic gestures become instruments. Here, sound and visuals are treated as something discovered—unearthed through play, trial, and close observation. Together, the works propose alternative ways of making, listening, and visualising, where ingenuity replaces excess, and the familiar is reimagined as strange, expressive, and alive.
Conceived as a shared space for connection, creative crossover, and peer learning, the exhibition functions alongside a public programme of collaborative workshops, live performances, and ongoing invitations for visitors to interact and play.
PUBLIC PROGRAMME AND EVENTS
YardYard Workshop
Saturday 20 June, 2-6pm
Join artists from the 嘢嘢YardYard collective to experiment with sounds and making. This hands-on, drop-in workshop invites visitors to make DIY wind instruments (such as a canister xūn and straw flute) from material waste. You can also customise electronic circuit-bent synth instruments with Pei and try out Ewan Peng’s modular synth.
Note: The general exhibition remains fully open to visitors while the workshop is running.
CLOSING AND PERFORMANCE NIGHT
Saturday 27 June, 6-8.30pm
An evening of live, improvised audio-visual sets and sound experiments taking place across the exhibition space.
Contributing artists
Rob Shuttleworth - Rob Shuttleworth is an artist exploring the creative potential of accessible techniques and materials, highlighting the process of making as a language of expression. He performs and composes under the moniker Haddow, improvising with handmade instruments and found sounds, and shares these methods via the ‘Unprecious Instrument’ workshops. He also co-runs live sound art event SAOM, produces monthly radio broadcasts for arts journal FIELDNOTES, and works as an illustrator and designer for various music related projects.

David Sappa - David Sappa works across sound sculpture, improvisation and field recording. Their projects take shape through site-responsive processes, using found or discarded objects—such as iron nails, driftwood, shells, glass, rope, brick, willow, plastic, frayed metal, burnt cinders and bone—reconfigured and animated to reveal tender frictions and material instability. Sappa’s work explores material memory, porous temporality, care, neglect, and their relationship to wider social systems.

Jenny Pengilly - Jenny Pengilly is a multidisciplinary artist working in learning and social engagement. Her practice focuses on the sensory exploration of materials and making to facilitate play, experimentation, and collaboration. Key projects include Static Studios, a nomadic recording studio and label developed with children; the Experimental Tunes and Children radio show on RTM.fm; and the Electronic Audio Club, a peer-led community group exploring DIY electronic audio.

Rupert Earl - Rupert Earl is a multimedia visual artist using video-feeds, found objects, and naturally occurring reactions as the foundation of his work. Merging live-feed video projections and light-emitting installations, his practice explores organic interactions through real-time improvisation with physical materials.

嘢嘢YardYard - 嘢嘢YardYard is a DIY subculture space and artist-led micro label connecting digital communities with physical gatherings. Established in 2024, YardYard operates as an experimental collective centred around sound, presence, and shared attention. The group pushes back against commercialised culture and rigid hyper-specialised roles, preserving a space for open listening and alternative voices.

YUNA阿尘 - YUNA阿尘 is a musician and multimedia sound artist who animates physical objects and digital environments. Working with site-specific listening, minimal mechanisms and game logic, she cultivates fragile moments and glimmering states of presence between bodies and communal technologies.

Domènec Miralles - Domènec Miralles is a Catalan-Italian digital artist based in London. Working with code-based tools, game engines, and custom-made visual and textual AI models, Domènec explores how new technologies change the way we think, communicate, and express ourselves. His work examines ideas like self-deception, human reliance on technology and non-linear ways of creating and acting.

Tongktongktong - London-based multimedia artist Tongktongktong builds immersive, surreal worlds where invisible forces become tangible. Through real-time audio and visual systems, her work blurs the boundary between the virtual and the physical.

Pei - Pei is a multi-disciplinary artist whose practice focuses on sound art, DIY instrument making, and sculpture. Their work explores the connection between marginalised identities and noise.

Ewan Peng - Ewan Peng is a multidisciplinary artist based in London, specialising in installation and sound art. He is dedicated to exploring the edges and connections between sound, body and machinery. His current work primarily explores the relationship between modern technology and the body through rituals of cybernetics and esotericism.
