The UCLA Art|Sci Collective Presents BIRD SONG DIAMOND

Exhibition Opening, 5-7pm + LASER Symposium, 7-9 pm

Art|Sci Gallery, CNSI 5th Floor, Room 5419

We as human beings have taken bird songs out of our daily environment. This interactive sound+projection installation uses hyper-directional sound speakers, bird songs, and drone-footage that heighten the audience's awareness of the environment in a bird's point of view.

Featuring the work and on-going collaboration of UCLA professors Dr. Charles Taylor, Evolutionary Biology, and Dr. Victoria Vesna, Design|Media Arts, artist-inventor Aisen Caro Chacin, sound-artist Joel Ong, artist John Brumley, and Mick Lorusso + Mary Tsang from the Art|Sci collective.

This is one aspect of a multi-year trans-disciplinary collaborative project “Mapping the Acoustic Communication Networks of Birds” funded by the National Science Foundation.

EVENTS ARE FREE and light refreshments are on the house.

Parking is in lot 9, by the hour or $12 all day. Drive up to the op of the parking structure to reach the entrance of the building.
