Using computer modelling, scientists identify three simple rules that enable the synchronised movement of bird flocks: separation, alignment and cohesion.
Informed by flocking studies and queer ecology, Aeon is activated by silence, sound, civic responsibility and personal desire. A playful push through public space and private discomfort, this participatory experiment in group behaviour questions what it means to be natural.
Co-created by a team of multidisciplinary artists, Aeon lands a portable speaker in your palm and invites you to walk between soaring clouds of wings and piles of pigeon poo, D13towards a paradoxical and uncertain horizon.
Aeon is an outdoor work involving a significant amount of walking. The work takes place in the vicinity of Royal Park and finishes near Melbourne Zoo.
Your exact starting location will be provided via SMS the day before the performance. On booking, it is essential you provide your mobile phone number (or a preferred phone number if you do not have a mobile phone).
