Discover the supernatural nature of floating fish
FLOCK OF seeks to inspire by fusing art and technology, challenging perceptions and sparking curiosity by transforming a school of fish into a flock. This installation symbolizes life’s interconnectedness and adaptability, reflecting the ever-changing nature of existence. Helium-filled balloons, each with an electronic brain, create an aerial spectacle, continuously receiving signals from sensors and sending data to a central server.
A central server guides their movements in real-time using advanced modules for navigation, detection, and communication. This blend of physics, mechanics, electronics, programming and network systems results in a mesmerizing display, highlighting the potential of interdisciplinary innovation. Within its cultural and scientific layers, FLOCK OF explores themes of interconnectedness and collective behavior, encouraging viewers to reflect on the ever-evolving nature of our world.
