Özcan Ertek – Birds on the Wire

Interactive Sound Installation

bird spikes, transducers, contact mics, MAX, speakers

Dreaming of a world where interspecies conflict gives way to cohabitation, the artist reimagines the bird spike as a tool for connection and communication. Transformed into a mediating artifact, the defensive architectural structure diffuses recorded pigeon sounds, reabsorbs them via contact mics, and projects them back into the space—allowing visitors to experience the material as a vessel for sonic exchange. Visitors are also invited to activate new timbres from the spikes, rethinking the boundaries between hostility and cohabitation.

Birds on the Wire was on view as part of the exhibition “Taming the City – Local Stories” at @errant.sound , Gerichtstraße 45, Wedding, and at @cank.berlin as part of @48stundennk .
