Join us for Counterforce Lab's new lecture series inaugural session on Monday, January 23, 2023 from 12 to 1 PM in the EDA.

Eyes in the Sky, Birds in the Heart and Mind is Counterforce Lab’s new lecture series. As a point of departure, we will focus on the Biophilia Treehouse, Counterforce’s flagship project, a public art living sculpture, and an offering to birds. Join us to explore how drones, photogrammetry, and AR can foster interspecies friendships, reveal overlaps and disjunctures between scientific and Indigenous knowledge about birds, and let us marvel at avian life force.
