A
cacophony of birdlike sounds fills the gallery space. One can hear the
installation long before one can see it. Different size monitors are set
on bird like perches or in one case in a birdhouse. Water bottles (feeders)
are attached to the monitors, which are being fed a video signal. Each
bird is a different colour, blue, yellow, green, or red. Each one exists
in a singular monitor. All but the red bird is a recorded set loop. Each
shot is exactly the same and one cannot discern the live image from the
recorded image. The audience is also being recorded and the live image
is being transmitted to the room where I am performing live as the red
bird. I can ‘see’ through my monitor. Who is the audience
of whom? Everything thais “live” is also “recorded”.
