Bird on a Wire

2012

'Bird on a Wire' is a projected interactive display created for a pair of storefront windows at the corner Mercer St. and Washington Pl. in Manhattan. By calling a number a passerby can set birds perched on telephone wires into motion while listening to their flocking sounds on a cellphone.

Each bird is individually mapped to the space's physical set design and the animation is triggered when the birds receive a call to the designated number. The installation transforms a traditional storefront into a literal call to action - engaging pedestrians into a playful two way interaction.

Created by: Christie Leece, Inessah Selditz, Matt Richardson, and Ben Light.
