Get matched →Floating Nest is an installation, created by Milad Mozari and Peter Speer, about the natural world in collision with the human imprint. Set a century from now, it imagines a future where rivers and lakes have spilled beyond banks, and a concert amphitheater has been made by migratory birds. This sonic nest is filled with moments of quiet, cacophony, movement, and modulation. The work listens to this changed landscape through the voices of the birds that inhabit it, whose calls and songs have shifted in frequency to fit the new environment without humans. Built from field recordings, synthesis, and custom circuits, Floating Nest opens with distinct and recognizable bird calls. As the work unfolds, these phrases are augmented and accumulate into a drone that merges the species and the temporary structure. For the Tang Museum, the piece has been reimagined in relation to the ascending and descending movement of the Tang’s elevator, suspending visitors in a structure that has moved beyond the species that built it.
Mozari and Speer originally created Floating Nest in 2023 for the initial Sonic Pavilion in Chicago, with the Experimental Sound Studio. New iterations have been presented at Black Mountain College Museum Art Center, Warren Wilson College, and Reforesters Laboratory in Brooklyn.
