RARE BIRDS (2010) Twenty participants were given a photograph of the same object and asked to write a brief response of what they thought the object resembled, in addition to its possible function. Eleven of the twenty participants responded. I then reworked these replies to imitate encyclopedic entries. "Rare Birds" is both the original object combined with these didactics installed in any given space. It is a comment on the production and rhetoric of authoritative knowledge in our culture. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
