Queensway Television is pleased to present Bird Watching by Montreal-based artist Timothy Thomasson. The work, a 3D computer animation, presents images of birds. As a study of movement, the animation — manually modelled through 3D modelling and animation software — draws from close direct observation of real bird behaviour.
The title highlights the iconic simulation of its subject, emphasising the virtuality of the bird representations. Birds are commonly encountered, particularly in urban environments. This work focuses on their movement, inviting sensitivity and attention to the bird’s subtle, familiar gestures. Throughout the animation, the virtual birds gradually deviate from typical behaviour, engaging in grotesque and unconventional acts, such as consuming seemingly inedible objects and navigating unexpected environments.
