And the birds cry out
01:00:00|Around 1400 of the world's bird species are now threatened with extinction, mostly because of human activities. This show features a recording of a sound installation created in 2024, incorporating calls and songs of some of the world's threatened birds. The installation was designed such that the bird sounds were modulated by the presence of people, providing a metaphor for human impacts on the environment. The original sounds were obtained from Xeno-Canto.org, whose contributions are gratefully acknowledged.Into the Archive
