Piano Migration Installation 2
This work is still in production and uses the inside of an upright piano as its main framework with small light activated mechanisms fixed onto the strings. A video of birds migrating is projected directly onto the piano strings and devices, so when lighter parts of the video image (the birds) fall onto the light sensors, the small mechanisms twang the piano strings. The flight paths of the birds create a trail of sounds.
