Stroll 001?
An opening conversation about the places and formats a walk might occupy — including a possible virtual one.
FIRST EXCHANGE / RECORD IN PROGRESS
BIRD WALK: / BRONX 2026ORIGINAL COVER ARTWORK · SLIDE 10 · JAY MUHLIN
A SHARED PRACTICE / 2026—
JAY MUHLIN & NATHANIEL SULLIVANA conversation that keeps changing where it's going.
Conversations, Ponderings & the Migration of Ideas.
Two artists moving between photography, listening, walking, memory and unfinished thoughts. This is a place where those threads can keep traveling after a conversation ends.
01 / THE PRACTICE
IMAGE · PLACE · MEMORY · RETURNNeither a fixed destination nor a finished story.
A photograph and a recording may describe the same encounter differently. What one person remembers may have moved somewhere else by the time the two meet again.
Bird Walk is a continuing working relationship between Jay Muhlin and Nathaniel Sullivan. The website is a point of return: a visual introduction to the work, not an open archive of private conversations.
02 / THE WALKS
THREE DOCUMENTED CONVERSATIONSWhat happened, and what might return.
These are public-facing summaries, not transcripts. The original notes and recordings remain in the artists' working archive.

Bird Walk 002
Voice, performance, systems and misunderstandings. Several calendar entries describe this one meeting; its exact start time remains unresolved.
ONE CONVERSATION / MULTIPLE NOTES
23 OCT 2026 / 003
Bird Walk 003
Signals and symbols, shifting decisions, creative misuse, recollection, and the prospect of meeting in place.
AN ENCOUNTER THAT CONTINUES
A later Bronx photographic walk is documented visually; its exact date is not assigned here. Meeting dates are source-backed, not invented.
03 / RECORDING, RECOLLECTION, RETURN
BIRD WALK 003 / OCT 23, 2026Between conversations, the doorway shifts.
“Between conversations, the doorway shifts.”
EDITORIAL ADAPTATION OF NATHANIEL'S OCTOBER 23 REMARK; NOT A VERBATIM QUOTATIONA future listening version may let a recording lead into an independent recollection, a photograph, and an unexpected return. For now, the recording itself is not published here.
TIMESTAMPED MACHINE-TRANSCRIPT INDEX / NOT AUDIO-VERIFIED
00:17:48Creative misuse
A turn toward the Roland 303 and what happens when a technology is used in ways its designers did not anticipate.
01:12:01A shifting doorway
A moment about possibilities changing between conversations. The shorter doorway line shown on this page is an editorial adaptation.
01:14:49Independent recollections
A proposal to have two people separately reconstruct an encounter, then compare their recollections with the recording.
01:15:24A shipwreck metaphor
A conversation about low-background metal and shipwrecks; presented here as a thematic index, not as an independently verified historical claim.
Audio clips and raw transcript are intentionally absent pending permissions and source verification.
04 / A WORKING INSTRUMENT
TEXT MAZE LAB V0.2When text becomes a place to walk.
The Text Maze is a working web experiment in which digressions become passages, forks and blind alleys. It draws from the 1705 Dool-Hoff, without copying its original diagram.
Write a path, change a branch, generate a maze, and export an SVG. The demonstration language is newly composed study text, not speech attributed to either artist.

05 / CONTINUUM
A MILLION SCATTERED PIECES / AN OPEN CONNECTIONAn encounter doesn't end when the minutes do.
A photograph leads to a voice; a recollection returns differently; a conversation becomes another kind of instrument.
From Bird Walk: to A Million Scattered PiecesThis page is a public-facing study for the collaboration, with selected artist-authored images. It is not a release of the private Bird Walk archive, a final exhibition, or an endorsement of proposed opportunities.
