Olivia Louvel was awarded an Ivor Novello Award for Best Sound Art for her site-specific piece LOL, which used the public address system of Middlesbrough’s CCTV surveillance network. Produced with Sound Art Brighton, the piece aimed to reflect the current state of political affairs in Britain.
The jury remarked: “LOL is a provocative, disruptive and impactful work, deftly constructed with humour”.
