bill orisich. video art projects
for the birds…
for the birds. music/visuals: bill orisich; voice/sax: bill head. For the Birds originated as a music/sound design piece created during the pandemic and throughout quarantine and is part of a new album entitled sequestered. The work sets up a visual riddle teasing the meaning of its title with what has been described as “nature’s most eloquent expression of beauty, joy and freedom”. Bird watchers take delight in spotting and identifying species and making lists. To see, to name is to know - transforming strangeness into familiarity and providing a sense of comfort and security. For the Birds explores the need to know in a time of uncertainty and high anxiety. Included in flux projects virtual art series 2020.
