A set drawn from the Activity Log: the soundings named in Snap, Hiss, Crackle, Pop, gathered in the order the essay meets them, from the canteen’s clamour to the studio’s drift. Where the full Log is the whole repurposed database, this is the subset that accompanies the essay for readers of the journal.

| 002 | Sound Walk Wanderings through the museum’s public galleries and back-of-house alike, cutting across its borders. | sound walk | [tbc] | in prep |
| 004 | Voice Notes Thoughts whispered in the darkroom’s red glow, caught on things read and listened to, half-formed. | voice note | [tbc] | in prep |
| 007 | Surfacing Images Digital images surfacing; shrouded objects, held between capture and record. | image | — | in prep |
| 003 | Snap, Hiss, Crackle, Pop Eighteen seconds of the commode’s acoustic emissions: what the instruments logged as risk, replayed as material life becoming audible. | acoustic emission | 00:18 | live |
| 008 | In the studio, drifting The Henry Cole Wing reverberating: the scanning camera’s pitch, flashlights popping, a studio radio drifting with the street. | audiovisual | 03:17 | live |
