Bird Node
February 16, 2006

Interesting work by Maria Mencia - The basis for the work is an exploration into the idea of the translation process... In this case from bird sounds via the human voice and back to birdsong. The birds are animated 'text birds' singing the sound of their own text while flying in the sky. The letters, which create their physical outlines, correspond to the transcribed sound made by each of the birds but the sound is produced by the human voice slightly digitally manipulated.

Bird Singing And Other Birds' Songs is part of the node.London events occuring in March and will be at the Chrisp Street Idea Store.

NODE.London [Networked, Open, Distributed, Events. London] is committed to building the infrastructure and raising the visibility of media arts practice in London. Working on an open, collaborative basis, NODE.London will culminate, in its first year, in a month long season of media arts projects across London in March 2006.
