Natural white noise is the last consolation for the ear in the cacophony of urban noise, and the song of birds is the most important chapter. We listen to the birds with pilgrim heart. That is nature, and that is hope. The blaring of horns, the tramping of feet, the loud chatter, the sounds we make are a disaster for birds.
在嘈杂的城市噪音中，天然的白噪音是耳朵最后的慰藉，而鸟鸣则是最为重要的篇章。我们怀着朝圣般的心聆听鸟鸣。那是自然，也是希望。汽车的鸣笛声、脚步的踩踏声、喧闹的谈话声——我们制造出的这些声音，对鸟类而言却是一场灾难。
灵感来源
The inspiration came from people made some big noises and big movements like knocked the glass windows or doors in the zoo, which made me think about these behaviors will have what kind of influences on animals.
灵感来源于人们在动物园里做出的一些巨大声响和剧烈动作，比如敲打玻璃窗或玻璃门，这让我思考这些行为会对动物产生什么样的影响。
概念
The popular science experience device designed from birds aging due to noise
Sound is the hope of life, and when the white noise of nature becomes hoarse, whether the inner world of people becomes dark.
The main elements of the device are the skeleton of a hollowed bird and the bound heart. When people unconsciously step on the trigger device to affect the fluctuation and rhythm of heart. While the foot is down on the trigger, the noise is made and the cardiac gas is pumped out. It will lack of gas causes the heart to contract. After that, when people take the foot of and the air will return to heart, the heart swells and shows vitality.
这款科普体验装置的灵感源于噪音导致鸟类衰老的现象。声音是生命的希望，当自然的白噪音变得嘶哑，人们的内心世界是否会变得灰暗？装置的主要元素是一个镂空的鸟类骨架和被束缚的心脏。当人们无意识地踩下触发装置时，便会影响到心脏的搏动频率与节奏。脚踩下触发器的瞬间，噪音响起，心脏中的气体被抽出；因气体不足，心脏开始收缩。而当人们抬起脚，气体回流到心脏，心脏重新膨胀，恢复生机。
