Inspired by swarm behaviour observed in nature, and in particular starling murmuration, this work is an exploration of the effects of movement on architectural surfaces.

 

This prototype mirrored wall-covering is engineered to flex and bend in response to data collected from external atmospheric conditions. When sunlight is in direct alignment with the wall as it moves, a dancing swarm of tiny lights are projected. The frequency of these specific conditions occuring mean that the visual effect produced may be extremely rare or be a daily occurrence, but as in nature it is something that cannot be predicted.
