One and All launched on 4 November at nationaltrust.org.uk/oneandall, alongside a physical installation at Somerset House in London. “We’ve got over 775 miles of coastline under the care of the National Trust,” says Tom Freshwater, the trust’s contemporary arts programme manager. “What we are looking to do now is very much about managed access to the coast, people’s enjoyment of it and the wildlife potential that it has.”

Inspired by locations along the Gower coast in south Wales, Sheers’s evocative poetry captures his response to a collection of dramatic scenes, from the dark interior of Paviland cave to the rocky expanse of Worm’s Head. Accompanying his readings are names and places recited by local people, with stunning footage shot by Wigley against a rich soundtrack that he captured when he went on location with microphones in his ears. “I really wanted an immersive experience online that you lost yourself in,” says Wigley. “Binaural sound recording is a fantastic way of doing that.”

Sound artist Martyn Ware (Heaven17 / Human League), poet Owen Sheers and visual artist Tania Kovats were been invited to take inspiration from 50 years of Project Neptune, the National Trust’s campaign to acquire and care for coastal land. Produced in collaboration with sounduk, Ben Wigley (artdocs) and digital agency The Swarm, ‘One and All’ creates an immersive virtual experience of the British coastline.
