Bird Box (meSch)

Description

A prototype installation designed to prompt visitors to investigate out-of-the-way paths or landmarks in a cemetery, without giving them specific information or requiring them to look down at their phone. It is a solar-powered box that projects an animation of birds in flight onto the ground.
