The aim of Flock was to create an interactive environment in a public space that would encourage social interaction between members of the public, particularly strangers that wouldn’t ordinarily interact.

Using camera tracking software, artificial intelligence to simulate the movement of a flock of birds, a webcam, a projector and an artfully created, sturdy frame to house the entire apparatus (thanks Ger!), we were able to successfully complete the tasks we set ourselves for this project.
