Autogena is best known for the Sound Mirrors project . Inspired by the derelict acoustic mirrors at the former RAF Denge in England, it aims to create two new sound mirrors on the coast of England and France which will enable people on either side of the English Channel to speak to each other. Her work tends to feature very lengthy and complex development, involving forming diverse communities of artists, business people, scientists, and children, who come together to work on each project. She says:
In 2001, Black Shoals, in collaboration with Joshua Portway, was shown at the Tate Gallery, London. In 2004 she was recipient to a prestigious three-year National Endowment of Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) fellowship, aiding development of her work.
