Bird Call: Studies and Actions Dedicated to Biodiversity

Bird Call: Studies and Actions Dedicated to Biodiversity is an intermedia exhibition that blends 2d and 3d works by local artists and study participants in an expanded wunderkammer alongside time-based works by contemporary new media artists. This exhibition forms out of the collaborative and interdisciplinary research project of PSU Berks professors Bryan Wang, Sandy Feinstein, and Samantha Kavky and PSU Lehigh Valley professor David Livert, working in partnership with Berks Nature, Baird Ornithological Club, and VOiCEup Berks. Their study encourages the public to use the tools of science and art to experience and engage with the natural world–beginning with birds. After observing how birds look, sound, and behave, participants created artwork to represent their thoughts and feelings about birds and the environment as a way of celebrating birds and biodiversity.
