The travelling art installation Mystery Bird will take to the streets this week to bring a magical story to the people of Salford and Manchester. And everyone, across the nation, can enjoy the Mystery Bird flight of fancy in their own homes via a free Instagram filter.

The travelling “show” has been created by a collection of artists from the north-west whose combined skills in model-making, projection, design, sound, augmented reality and even beatboxing have brought this spectacular piece to life.

The Mystery Bird is a giant 3metre x 2metre birdcage filled with projected birds and accompanied by a bespoke soundscape, which will be released to “fly” across buildings, trees and the streets of Greater Manchester. In addition to the Mystery Bird travelling installation, Quays Culture worked with artist Jack Hardiker to create a special Instagram filter so users can welcome the birds into their own homes and gardens via their mobile phones.

Quays Culture are also asking for the public to share a movie of their own Mystery Bird experience that will be collated into a community film to share the joy of the experience with the nation.
