The English language is replete with idioms that make reference to birds, beginning with the expression “bird brain.” This series of wall sculptures – inspired by these birds – is a glossary of logical fallacies and cognitive biases that are so pervasive they have been given colloquial status as sayings, stories, or metaphors.
Continuing Natale Adgnot’s ongoing exploration of bias and fallacy, “Bird Brains” matches entries in the cognitive bias codex with the birds that best exemplify them. From black swan theory to the duck test to the proverbial canary in the coal mine, Adgnot taps into this rich language to point out the stunning variety and sheer magnitude of ways we humans misconstrue the world.
