BOIDS
A futurological dance performance

The topos of swarm behavior combines numerous fields that are all of interest to Moritz Ostruschnjak: artificial intelligence, future science and science fiction. Swarms function as collectives without a center; they control and organize themselves. Based on the observation of cooperating animal collectives, research will be directed towards how linking simple individual actors can elicit complex intelligent group behavior. Boids (bird-oid objects) are synthetically manufactured swarm animals whose behavior is steered by simple formalized rules. Intelligence is decentralized; the individual dissolves like a cloud.
In science fiction scenarios, the sudden appearance of a swarm, which forms a multiple whole from a plurality, is not only menacing – it is also the epitome of an enemy that has no shape or contour.
The swarm serves as a metaphor for the complexity and uncontrollability of life.
The dancers close in on these motives in specific movement qualities.
They observe the simple rules of a swarm, such as the right distance to their closest neighbor and following the same direction; individuals are regularly flushed out of the group.
In the end, the persons act according to their own logic, in a special, almost ephemeral space, a cloud of dance, light and sound.
