" FLOATING LAND 2013 - "BIRDiView"  

From the Floating Land Program:

" Elizabeth finds inspiration from the fragile and visually fragmented Australian bush.    This project is created around spiderwebs, which are constructed in such a way that they are visible to birds, preventing them from flying into the webs. Her project was inspired by a German glass company which has imitated the spider’s natural intelligence by superimposing a special UV reflective, linear pattern coated into the glass. This is only visible to birds, potentially saving millions of bird deaths from collision. Her work represents the visible and invisible aspect of our landscape. BIRD iView explores how humans continue to utilise nature’s intelligence and use sustainable technology based on this information."
