Fence Artwork

This is a test for the artwork going on the fence, this piece is based on the spectrogram of a tui and the colour scheme is taken from the colours of a tui. The final pieces when they are made will each have a qr code attached, so people can scan the code and listen to the sounds each artwork represents. Click here to listen to a tui.

Artists - Olivier Messiaen

Olivier Messiaen was a French composer and keen ornithologist, someone who studies birds. Bird calls were a fascination for him and he included them in a number of his works. Though he never came to New Zealand he did include, the calls of the bellbird and tui in one of his works.

Artists - Nina Katchadourian

As well as putting information about the Otari project I want to build a resource of artists and projects, which deal with the natural world. Starting with Nina Katchadourian, an American artist who has dealt with the natural world in many of her projects. More information is available from her website, which is worth looking at for the many other projects she has done, and a video of one work called 'Natural Car Alarms'.
