Birds on the Wire
-interactive sound sculpture-
bird spikes · transducers · contact mics · MAX · speakers

Dreaming of a world where interspecies conflict gives way to cohabitation, the installation reimagines the bird spike as a tool for connection and communication. 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.

The installation was on view as part of the group exhibition Sensing Beyond at @cank.berlin during @48stundennk .

Set in a former shopping mall, Sensing Beyond by @groundless.group was an artist‑led intervention transformed the space into a site of collective sensory experimentation.
