Inspired by humpback’s vocalization, artist BiJian Fan created a life size singing whale in paper scroll.  Cutout music notes and symbols outline the whale and underscore his singing aptitude.  It is installed at the Hall of Administration, Ventura County Government Center, and highlighted by the building’s skylight.  A closeup video can be viewed at http://youtu.be/44cmb1wTvXM.

The visual art can also be sensed audibly through interactive mobile communication.  Upon scanning a QR code on the label, a smartphone plays out a whale song.  The integration of technology adds another sensory mode to visual art.
