A 10 minute time-based painting installation/performance featuring ongoing research into the role of the artist-shaman in contemporary ecologies; in particular, bird-human relations. Strigiformes: Binocular, Binaural combines elements based on geographically-specific ecological surveys of vertebrate species from Australian ornithologists, the phone app Tinder and human translations of other vertebrate species calls. The performance-painting-installation features a 70 square metre hand-sewn silk rainbow backdrop, a specially commissioned soundscape by Tom Smith including sound material collected by Clare Milledge, human-bird performers and a psychedelic whipcracking bird-shaman. Data has been collected from Byron Bay (AU), Glenorchy (NZ) and Oslo (NO).
