Hélène Vogelsinger is a composer, sound designer, videographer, and artistic director of the label Microsmose. Through a unique practice blending music, visuals, and sound architecture, she develops immersive, introspective works deeply connected to the living world.

With her modular synthesizer project, she explores abandoned or remote locations in nature, where she composes and performs live, engaging in a direct dialogue with the energy and memory of each space. Every place becomes a territory of resonance, a sensitive ecosystem that influences her music, movements, and perception of time.

Her creative process, which she has refined over several years, is based on deep listening, slowness, and connection to the present moment. Nourished by a sensitivity to silence, natural light, and the invisible, she crafts suspended experiences, somewhere between lucid dream, contemplation, and inner journey.

A multidisciplinary artist, Hélène also creates her own videos, works with visuals, and develops within Microsmose a creative space dedicated to sensitive, meditative, and organic forms. Her world unfolds like a poetic and sensorial language at the crossroads of ambient music, electronic experimentation, orchestral composition, and visual art.

Hello! We're the Transformational Governance Collective.

As part of a growing ecosystem of transformational governance practitioners, we want to contribute to an interconnected set of activities and experimental spaces that catalyse, deepen and sustain transformational governance practice.

We face a global polycrisis that requires innovative and socially just solutions. We can be in no doubt of the urgent need to do things differently. Imaginative, collaborative, liberatory practice must be enabled to flourish across disciplines and sectors - but is constrained and held back by inherited governance structures. The greatest risk lies in maintaining the status quo.

Governance encompasses all the things that are put in place for people to work together. The current, dominant models of governance were designed by and for patriarchal, white supremacist, colonial, capitalist institutions. They often work on the basis of separation, competition and control. Instead, we need to recognise and enhance interdependence, co-operation and systemic responses to complex problems.
