Untitled (bird)

Branches from a manzanita, fishing wire, servomotors, MDF, aluminum, microcontroler, electrical and mechanical components. 48"x48"x72". 2013. Bird uses proximity sensors to locate the presence of viewers and directs a "bird" to avoid those branches as it moves around the tree. Instead of seeing a bird, one sees branches raise and lower to reveal its location as motors pull on and release branches as it "moves" about the tree.
