2.4Ghz Homing Pigeons

Part of the Manchester Urban Screen Festival

11-14 October 2007
All Saints Square, Manchester

Based on the original photographic work of Edward Muybridge's study of pigeons in flight this work utilises Bluetooth technology to build an interactive environment in which pedestrians control the number of birds based on the number of enabled mobile devices present within a 100m/300ft range. The pigeons appear to fly over a virtual Manchester skyline while commuting pedestrians travel beneath.
