misplaced measure

sculpture in a sculpture park

Introduction

Selected through an open competition, Our piece is quite literally a microphone into the home of a family of birds, a misplaced measure often overlooked.

 

We propose a small incision into the earth, placing the user inside of the listening device, a gramophone of sorts, precisely directed at a vernacular birdhouse installed at the top of the trees. An object of mystery,  and an echo chamber for nature, we hope that our sculpture houses not only curious users of the human form, but also nature, including the birds and plants. Too often, art is placed at the eye level, superseding the surroundings. In this case, the art is a gentle filter, exposing and projecting the surroundings, louder than before. The park is the true masterpiece. Listen.

We are so busy speaking that we rarely take the time to listen. What if we took a device for speaking and invert it to become a device for listening?
