Wembley Park unveils Trialogue, the latest addition to its free-to-enjoy Art Trail. An innovative 3D audio-visual installation crafted by acclaimed audio-visual artists Greenaway & Greenaway, the installation breathes fresh life into three Grade II-listed K6 telephone boxes—Britain’s iconic red booths. Situated in Arena Square, between two of London’s most well-known venues, the OVO Arena Wembley and Wembley Stadium, Trialogue will premiere on 27th November 2024 and remain on display until March 2025.
Renowned for transforming public spaces through cutting-edge technology, Greenaway & Greenaway’s creative portfolio includes the official Opening Ceremony film and large-scale 3D mapping for Waltham Forest Borough of Culture, as well as The Who’s music video for the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony. Their immersive works for cultural landmarks like the V&A, Roundhouse, and Barbican, alongside collaborations with electronic music legends such as Pet Shop Boys, Eric Prydz, and Chase & Status, showcase their ability to redefine the intersection of art and technology—now bringing this vision to Wembley Park.
Our most rewarding projects push the boundaries of our craft. Trialogue gave us a chance to honor the history of these iconic phone boxes while reinterpreting them for today’s audience. It’s a conversation—between heritage, innovation, and human connection—that invites reflection on how communication evolves while staying tied to shared cultural symbols.

Trialogue reimagines Wembley Park’s historic phone boxes, transforming them into immersive three-dimensional art spaces. Originally installed in the 1930s near the Empire Pool (now OVO Arena Wembley), these iconic red booths disappeared from public view for decades before being restored and returned to Arena Square in 2019.
Trialogue merges waveform animations, abstract soundscapes, and text visualization, enhanced by cutting-edge techniques like speech-to-text processing and emotion mapping, with interconnected LED screens at its core. This fusion of heritage and technology creates an engaging experience, inviting visitors to explore the evolving nature of communication while remaining deeply rooted in shared cultural symbols.
Chosen from over 50 proposals, Jude and Jolyon Greenaway’s Trialogue stood out for its ability to transform Wembley Park’s beloved phone boxes into atmospheric portals of light and sound, where tradition and innovative artistry meet.
Their concept transforms these British icons into atmospheric chambers, immersing viewers in a captivating interplay between the digital and physical realms,” says Claudio Giambrone, Head of Cultural Programming at Wembley Park. Trialogue forms part of Wembley Park’s ever-evolving Art Trail, which boasts over 25 large-scale public artworks. The trail showcases creations by both local talents and renowned artists such as Mr. Doodle, Lois O’Hara, and Jason Bruges Studio. Visitors can explore this vibrant outdoor gallery with ease using the digital guide available on the free CityTrotter: London Walks app, compatible with both Android and iOS devices.
