swarm captures the collective logic of a flock within architectural stillness.

A 45 second video of a bird flock was processed through a freeze frame analysis, each frame mapped and spatialized to extract the vectors of movement as form. The sculpture consolidates these trajectories into a single instant, rendering time as structure rather than sequence.

​

I use aluminium trusses because I have been working with them for years as a sound technician. Structures that usually play a passive role become the central material here, shifting from support to form. All parts are rental items, and the sculpture is modular and can be scaled up or down to fit the space.

​

swarm turns an event of collective behaviour into a architectural memory, where direction, density and dispersal are reencoded as spatial relations. It asks how movement might persist beyond duration and how the architectures of industry can hold the residue of the natural.
