We - as humans – have long since been fascinated by birds. Their seemingly magical capacity for flight, song, and navigation have made them powerful symbols for many cultures, especially through the art historical lexicon. The Beall Center for Art + Technology’s related exhibition - Passes Like a Thought - explores flight, birdsong, and the aesthetic variation of avian species through the work of several intermedia artists. This panel talk will allow exhibition artists to present their work and research, in conversation with experts from the natural sciences, art historical, and environmental community.
