about the project

Aesthetician Labs’ exprmt48 jam, I wanted to explore the concept of a zero-player game, like those documented in Raindrop Races, by Flan Falacci, Danny Hawk, and other members of Boshi’s Place. The actual game has no player interaction; instead, the player can download a pdf Boider’s Guide to identify and catalogue species of Boid as if one were watching birds in their backyard. The sounds for the game came from wildlife recordings from the British Library and edited by me.
