About this show
Morphological Murmurations is a multisensory installation engaging audiences kinaesthetically with language, embodied communication, neurodivergence, artificial intelligence (AI) and models of animal behaviour. The artwork places visitors within the semantic structure of an AI model representing human language (an LLM), where a flock of artificial agents respond to their movements, visually and sonically activating words. With the intuition of movement, muscle memory and spatial awareness, visitors explore the environment of a putative 'other mind' (the LLM) using an alternative model of how embodied minds (birds) coordinate movement to create meaning through patterns of bodies working together.
