HARDCORE CARE:
Experiment #I «Pigeons»
“Experiment #I «Pigeons»” is the first part of a larger series of experiments that explore the idea of care devoted to -commonly- unwanted species. In this case, the artwork, that sits on a virtual space hosted in Mozilla Hubs, holds a heterogeneous visual collection of intra-actions with pigeons. The central piece of the project consists of a video-collage that recorded a sympoietic performance between human-computer-pigeons, where the latter triggered self-enjoyable sounds by eating food or drinking water.
