_{The Lore of the Lyrebird, Ambrose Pratt, 1932}

BirdLife Switzerland 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 exhibitions at Birdlife centres Neeracherried and La Sauge, visitors shall experiment and interact with bird’s sounds and slip into the skin of birds. In the Spatial Interaction course, students will develop working concepts for this exhibition, through the tools and methods of spatial interaction, sound and exhibition design. The developed prototypes will be presented to our partners and should serve as the basis of a further design of the planned exhibition.

This year, the module is conceived in collaboration with Birdlife centres Neeracherried and La Sauge in order to investigate ideas and prototypes for a future exhibition where visitors interact with bird songs.
