AUDIO AVIARY

MDes Open Project
Advised by Charles Waldheim
AUDIO AVIARY is a bird sound installation at Gund Hall. In opposition to its colonial history of capture and ecological conquest, this Aviary is positioned not a technology of capture. It is instead a sort of telephone. Public participants use the installation to call, sing, to surrounding birds. Speakers then transmit ‘citizen’-recorded sounds from Cape Ann to Cambridge — rehearsing a call, between the places where threatened species live now and the environments they will adapt to. In attuning to these changes, we participate in their collective sounds for an interspecies future.
