Captured Birdscapes: Artistic Research, Research Art, and Living Cultural Heritage

This article centres on the Birdscapes exhibition held in 2022 at the Nature Museum in Lucerne, Switzerland. The exhibition’s primary objective was to convey the research processes and findings of a project that explored human-nature connections, with a particular emphasis on the auditory, sonic, and musical dimensions of people’s interactions with their physical environment. The paper underscores the potential for expanding similar initiatives beyond academic boundaries and highlights the importance of integrating sound installations and objects within museum spaces while also fostering critical reflections.
