Lost Lectures is a trailblazing underground event series that ripped up the rulebook on how audiences and ideas converge. Born in London in 2012, it built a cult following by transforming lectures into full-blown immersive worlds; staging nights of discovery with eclectic speaker sets in secret, art-directed spaces; from decommissioned power stations to floating theatres, abandoned hotels to forgotten Olympic pools; across London, New York, and Berlin.

The venue was Alexandra Palace’s disused Victorian theatre which hadn’t been open to the public since 1934.

End-to-end audio production was delivered, including main and distributed PA systems, wireless headset microphones, and a fully equipped setup for high-quality live band performance by renowned band “Public Service Broadcasting”

This project marked one of the first UK deployments of the new d&b audiotechnik Y-Series, configured as a main ground-stacked line array, with additional Y10 loudspeakers distributed around the venue perimeter to enhance coverage and maximize speech intelligibility.

Bowerman Audiovisual continued to collaborate with Lost Lectures across a range of unique venues, including the Art Deco–era Hornsey Town Hall, Bethnal Green’s York Hall, a secret warehouse in Manor House, and a disused shopping centre in East London, among others. Over a three-year period, we played a critical role in ensuring the success of every event.
