As humans, we have long since been fascinated by birds. Their seemingly magical capacity for flight, song, and navigation have made them powerful symbols for many cultures, especially through the art historical lexicon. The Beall Center for Art + Technology’s related exhibition - "It Passes like a Thought" - explores flight, birdsong, and the aesthetic variation of avian species through the work of several intermedia artists. This panel talk will allow exhibition artists and ornithology experts to present their work and research, in conversation with David Familian of the Beall Center for Art + Technology.

Speakers include:

Lynn Aldrich, Contemporary Artist

Ian Ingram, Contemporary Artist 

John Avise, Distinguished Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology

Nancy Burley, Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology

F. Lynn Carpenter, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
