Lise Autogena
Lise Autogena (born 1964) is a Danish artist living in the United Kingdom. At the age of 17, she left home to live in Denmark's experimental community Christiania, an experience which she has said was very important in her development. Autogena is best known for the "Sound Mirrors" project . Inspired by the derelict acoustic mirrors at the former RAF Denge in England, it aims to create two new sound mirrors on the coast of England and France which will enable people on either side of the English Channel to speak to each other. Her work tends to  feature very lengthy and complex development, involving forming diverse communities of artists, business people, scientists, and children, who come together to work on each project. She says: In 2001, Black Shoals, in collaboration with Joshua Portway, was shown at the Tate Gallery, London. In 2004 she was recipient to a prestigious three-year National Endowment of Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) fellowship, aiding development of her work.
