89 Birds

Country:

Colombia

Project type:

Dome

Description:

The 89 Birds project is designed to be presented preferably inside a dome. The music , sonic elements and visuals are performed live— distributed throughout the space in an all-encompassing manner with a multi-channel system. This is supported by uniquely crafted independent visuals that conceptually accompany each piece of music.

They range from a tribute to the planet to concern for the eco-destruction we are experiencing, told through the perspective of a voice of alarm that leads to hope. Each presentation becomes a totally immersive and sensorial experience in which the viewer makes the message that we are transmitting their own.
