Artblox Asia has recreated Whitehead’s birds as fascinating animated 3D models based on John Whitehead’s birdskin specimens and J.G. Keulemans’ ornithological illustrations. While J.G. Keulemans only had Whitehead’s birdskins to use as reference, the Whitehead’s Ark creative team benefits additionally from massive information and media libraries of the internet but is limited by the same technology’s constraints. These beautiful models are not meant to replace one’s experience of the real world, but are rather meant to remind us of the reality of extinction and firsthand experiences of nature that we must keep available for future generations.
