A discovery engine for the sublime, the meaningful, the cathartic, the euphoric, the interesting, and the strange shit we leave behind.

Large-scale kinetic installation by sosolimited is an array of mechanical origami umbrellas that together mimic swarm patterns of birds:

The sculpture celebrates the organic beauty of collaboration by visualizing the movements of an invisible flock of birds. Four hundred folding elements form a hanging volume in the sunlit atrium. Each element can independently open and close, controlled by custom software running a flocking algorithm.

The movements of the sculpture are perpetually evolving, driven by the flocking simulation. Over the course of each hour, smaller groups of birds coalesce into a single entity, soaring through the air in fluid collaboration. At each quarter hour, the birds gather and perform special choreographed gestures across the sculpture.  

The sculpture reflects the collaborative and innovative spirit of the work happening in the building. The graceful breath-like movements of the piece create an open, contemplative space for all the inhabitants of the building to enjoy.

Cigar-smoking child, Washington DC, 1928.

Three year-old Robert Quigley smoking a cigar, Washington DC, 30th August 1928. Quigley apparently started smoking when, as a one year-old on his father’s knee, he grabbed his father’s pipe and tried smoking it. The boy is also said to drink alcohol and chew tobacco.
