Originally proposed by joris laarman lab to the Guggneheim for the Contemplating the Void exhibition, starlings is an interactive installation containing 2000 architypical paper planes autonomously flying in a gracious organic ballet remotely guided by a high tech indoor gps system. These planes can either fly as an interactive swarm that reacts on inteference with the public or be guided in a pre- determined choreography. The planes are motorized as micro robotics with radio transmitters and carry a tiny battery. When a battery is empty the plane lands on a large ground platform and is charged automatically. When the battery is re-charged the plane lifts off to join the rest of the swarm again.
Imagine controlling your own swarm of paper planes...
