“Artistic Intelligence”

5 November – 8 November 2026

University of Greenwich 

Concerts / Performances / Screenings / Talks / Workshops / Installations 

SOUND/IMAGE 2025 is back again for the 2026 edition at the University of Greenwich. The festival is a multi-day celebration of adventurous audiovisual practice that attracts diverse global voices, to reveal new insights upon questions of creative practices across and between music, film, sound arts, performance and digital arts. 

Since 2015, SOUND/IMAGE has brought together thousands of artists, researchers, makers and audiences through performances, screenings, talks, installations and loudspeaker orchestra concerts.

For 2026, the festival once again transforms our spaces across Greenwich and Woolwich, from the world-class SHIFT immersive facilities and Immersive Digital Theatre to our Stockwell Street building, into places for experimentation, discovery and encounter. Including:

and ideas that challenge the boundaries between what we see, hear, and how we experience the world.
