1. This is an experimental inter-media project drawing on Scientific Research carried out by Dr Janos Hennicke and his colleagues at the Pink House Research Station on Christmas Island.

  1. Auspex Australis is a creative vehicle for highlighting the importance of this remote Australian Indian Ocean Territory as an ecological barometer and for attracting wider public attention to its unique habitat.

  1. This project developed out of ‘Trajectories’ - a collaboration between Australian media artist  David Carson and UK sound artist Phil Mouldycliff. Auspex further explores the flight (and plight) of endangered Christmas Island birds and other unique fauna.
