“Requiem,” an installation by University of Maine intermedia graduate student Steve Norton, was mentioned in Intelligent Arts’ Around Us online magazine. The installation is based exclusively on the sounds of extinct animals, according to the article. Speakers are placed in an empty and preferably darkened space. Accompanying booklets contextualize the experience for listeners by listing each of the animals by their common and scientific names, providing data on their ranges, and when and why they became extinct, the article states. A 10-minute excerpt of the installation also is online.
