Migration

This project aims to embody the essence of bird migration, migration paths and geographical locations that birds visit. The migration patterns of birds extend beyond merely moving from one place to another; it is a symbol of interconnectedness, not just between countries, but also between species as bird often transport plant matter and seeds on their bodies while migrating. By projecting a flock of birds birds onto a raised platform, the audience can interact by placing objects (dried plants cast in resin cubes) on the table. Each object will produce a different animation of tree rings on the platform at the location the person has placed it on, and the birds animation will flock towards the tree rings. This works through AR fiducial marker detection; each object bears a different fiducial marker and a camera will detect the identity of the marker and produce the corresponding tree on the projection. The combination of tree rings and bird flock is a visual representation of the interconnectedness between birds and trees/plants, all part of nature.
