Wind-up birds is an installation of networked mechanical woodpeckers.
Each woodpecker consists of a woodblock and pushmagnet, a custom-made electronic circuit and a radio modem.
All the woodpeckers are connected together in a zigbee wireless network.
Every 5 minutes one of the woodpeckers start pecking, and the others answer.

    And now I know what ornithopters are! The title is inspired by "The wind-up bird chronicle" by Haruki Murakami
