Art | Sci Director Victoria Vesna's collaborative work, Bird Song Diamond, will be shown as part of It Passes Like a Thought, an upcoming exhibition on artists' interactions with birds at the Beall Center for Art + Technology at UC Irvine.
It Passes like a Thought includes seven contemporary artists who explore our obsessions with birds through various media. Some artists in this exhibition engage with birdsong, or more specifically, how we mimic or manipulate their sounds—looking for a response or a connection by creating a feedback loop with nature. Other artists are more interested in the visual diversity of birds, as well as how they are archived, classified, and preserved.
