“Will we Disappear in the Cover of the Sky” is the second chapter in a series about the current landscape of avian ecology in the UK. This linear experience will immerse the visitor through an experimental film, as they traverse along different environments from an urban park to the higher altitudes of open skies where birds perform acrobatic movements.

A more-than-human perspective emerges where a starling guides the visitor through the challenges brought about by rapidly growing human activities - especially a change in starling's wayfinding and foraging opportunities. While the visual narrative outlines the various places where a starling moves around, a narration and soundscape helps unfold the story.

Can the translation of vivid sensory information via digital technologies induce a sense of biophilia? In the end, we hope our audience walks away with a greater understanding of how the Anthropocene affects the flourishing of starlings.
