Description
An art installation by
- Valerie Constantino
- Glenda Drew
- Ann Savageau
Instinct Extinct is a multi-disciplinary art installation that explores and celebrates the biology, beauty, and bounty of the Pacific Flyway, viewed through a range of lenses: wildlife habitat, agricultural backdrop, recreational commons, conservation story, and inspirational phenomena for artists, writers and everyone in California and beyond. The exhibition is a partnership of the visual artist team – Valerie Constantino, Glenda Drew and Ann Savageau – with various organizations, associations, agencies, scientists, and scholars.
The installation is designed to share, translate, and transmit the poetic essence of the Pacific Flyway through an interactive, inter-media environment, exploring the experience of being with migratory birds and other species within a human-made architectural space.
