Swarm installation

The second beehive (shown in the middle of the space in this image) controls images from an artificial algorithmic swarm housed on a PC (which is stored in the beehive). Moving images of 3 swarms are projected out of the hive and onto the wall. The swarms move in real-time across the wall corresponding to the movements of visitors whose position is tracked as they walk on a floor covered with 64 pressure pads. Up to 16 people are tracked, with the swarms breaking into smaller groups to follow each person.
