The Birds Sing Sweetly



Nightingale song, Google Street View (XXGF+G4 Boston), EU referendum data, spoken word, bespoke algorithm.


            The narrator and their travelling companion make their way across the east midlands landscape on the 23rd June 2016. On their journey they are accompanied by the song of the Nightingale.

Yet these birds sing only songs of numbers and data - their song is created by data surrounding the votes cast during the UK EU referendum.

And how beautiful they are, the images the camera captures at this immortal hour, resting on a background of this earthly paradise.
