Apartment Birds
live collage of every bird that passes outside your window
maker’s words
I was initally planning on leaving this as a ‘true’ personal project of sorts. I love a good project writeup of course, but frankly I thought this was too quick an afternoon project to warrant any more documentation than a tweet. Twitter thought otherwise...
i mounted a tiny microphone on my apartment balcony to listen for any birds passing by and built a site to collage them as they're heard
