Interactive installation "Secret Gardens"
was based in crossing technology and nature, placing mobile phones, in which were downloaded electronic interpretations of different birds' songs and noises (Reed Trush, Troglodytes, Oriolus, Reed Warbler, Luscinia etc), into the bird-cages. Effective-golden bird-cages were handmade by artists them selves.

Interesting was the fact, that audience could participate in installation, making phone calls to different numbers of "birds" inside the bird-cages, which in all created funny chorus of electronic birds. Besides fun has art piece also deeper meanings, if we think about the fact, that mobile phones, which are so elementary in our nowadays everyday life, were closed into bird cases. The situation in our "Info Age", where is impossible to answer to one phone you can hear and see, must be similar to the cruel situation, where creation, who was burn to fly, is locked into the cage just for fun.
