The 15th version of the From Here to Ear installation has been specially conceived in its new variant by French artist Céleste Boursier-Mougenot.

It has been created for Milan's Hangar Bicocca and will be exhibited until 4 December. This interactive piece of art evolves from its precedent version, which was on display at London's Barbican Gallery last year.

If you're afraid of birds, there's no better shock-therapy than experiencing this immersive environment, where they freely fly and feed on in a space filled with guitars and percussion instruments. Sounds are created by the random activities of the winged ones. There is something truly magic happening: a peacefully intense sensorial experience is produced by the interweaving of visual and auditory dimensions – an immersive suspension of time and space.

The apparent naturalness experienced is, paradoxically, the result of a combination of technical and scientific aspects with aesthetic and sensorial experiments. Boursier-Mougenot declares: ‘Live music, produced live and where we are present, is among the phenomena which have the property of amplifying our feeling of the present moment’.
