Hear the bird
The installation experiencetransfers bird data from Portage Bay Birding Organization into a multi sensation including auditory perception and versionperception interactivelyand entertainingly.
Bird and Human:
Birding seems distant from us, but birds are ubiquitous. We see birds flying, and we hear birds singing. The artwork experience interactively and entertainingly translates data into auditory and version perception.
What did I do?
This is a solo project on visualizing information with psychical installation. I experimented with different materials and media to find the best solution for both auditory and visual experiences. In the end, I successfully had an exhibition.
What is birding?
An activity wherein birds are observed for the purpose of recreation or citizen science.
Why is birding?
Bird nesting, breeding, and immigration are all relevant to the environment and ecosystem. However, few people are interested in or understand birding.
What is my goal?
I wish to advocate and initiate people’s attention and reflect on human relationships with birds.
