"The sky is fluttering with things in shifting shapes. Moving in unison, roaming through the vast sky, they suddenly squeeze together, scatter into larger shapes, and almost disappear the next moment. It is almost impossible to predict their gorgeous shapes and densities. " This excerpt is from the description of the flight patterns of starlings by Giorgio Parisi, the 2021 Noble Price winner in physics. In his book, In a Flight of Starlings, Parisi guides us through theories of complex systems that involve both organization and randomness by observing the flight of flocks of birds.
The title of the fourth lecture during the NL Imagined exhibition held at SCôP is a direct reference to the title of the book In a Flight of Starlings (In un volo di storno), a publication of Giorgio Parisi. The lecture will focus on the participating artist Johannes Bosgra’s project Murmurations— inside a murmuration of starlings, the beauty of the flights is unfolded in his work that takes the bird as the subject. Meanwhile, the lecture will take off from the images of starlings to the discussion of contemporary art and complex systems. We invited the founder of In Vitro Art Lab, artist XiaoXing, to share his thoughts on “Do Machines Have Imagination?”, an interdisciplinary topic that covers both artificial intelligence and ecological perception.
