Skylar

I put a movie of birds flocking, from AUR in Rome, in the lightning folder. It may sound arbitrary until you watch it. I have never seen birds flock like this, it is incredible. They appear to act as an amorphic surface unjulating in the air. It definetely demonstrates an emergent system.

Also, some links....
