ALAVs (Autonomous Light Air Vessels)
in collaboration with Jed Berk
ALAVs, a traveling media art installation, are a flock of flying objects that integrate current and emerging technologies into an artful entertainment experience. As networked objects aware of their surroundings, they sense and react communicating the concept of co-habitation and connectivity among people, objects, and the environment. Through performance and mass-participation ALAVs respond to each other and to people; engaging an audience with interactive play scenarios. With the use of mobile technologies people can influence the behavior of the ALAVs by starting conversations and building closer relationships with them, reflecting upon the current state of connectivity in our everyday lives. www.alavs.com
