Abstract

Full Paper. Theme Datum – Data Subtheme Symbiotic Imaginaries

In a moment we sadly see young birds forgetting their songs as adults are dying faster, the series of data sculptures, using as raw data birdsong of five species extinct in nature, invites us to meditate on how fragmented audio memories of birds, recorded by humans, haunt our imagination as phantoms of forests increasingly replaced by anthropogenic landscapes.
