description
Chatter and Listening: For three bird boxes, is an interactive installation using a distributed network of sounding robots. The behaviour of the robots emerges from a multi-agent system modelled after a bird behaviours. The installation comprises of three bird boxes with electronics and audio, located in a small grove of trees. These objects act as single entities; they can create decisions, observe their environment and operate alone. They also act in the narrative of a colony where each agent is guided in behaviour by the state of the colony and its surrounding environment.
