The project is a hybrid of mockumentary and classical science art and manifests a new direction - mockumedia art. The video is based on a speculative decoding of the language of birds and its translation into human language.

The movements of sparrows and tomtits recorded on the zoo webcam were taken as the initial data for the research.

After analyzing the repetitive movements using the AI “Remove.bg”, 28 positions were selected. Each pose was assigned an individual sound signal and symbol, which correspond to the letters of the Khmer alphabet belonging to the group of tone languages. The tone of the letters corresponds to the signal system created by the analogue of the Morse code.
