About:
Generative Youtube video streaming artwork, following the migration flight of a Common Cuckoo with tracker #62395 from S.Korea to Botswana.
By encouraging other-than-human beings to penetrate the human realm using human tools, systems, infrastructure, we may be able to embrace more of the ecological values and seek alternatives to human technology use. In this project the Cuckoo's movement controls the internet search algorithm, an alternative navigation through the internet.
