The Lore of the Lyrebird, Ambrose Pratt, 1932
The BirdLife-centre Neeracherried and the University of Basel invite us to experience bird’s songs. Why do birds sing? How do they sing? What are the similarities of the communication of birds an human beings? Does man-made noise disturb the communication of birds? In an exhibition in Birdlife-centre Neeracherried visitors shall experiment an interact with bird’s sounds and slip into the skin of birds. Through In the Spatial Interaction Design course, students will develop working concepts for this exhibition, through the tools and methods of spatial interaction, sound and exhibition design. The developed prototypes are then presented to our partners and should serve as the basis of a further design of the planned exhibition.
