Ellen Lupton Animating Quotations

The exhibition is not just about art, but about life. The ideas in the exhibition relate to so many aspects of everyday life, as well as animating works of art across a huge range of media. Swarms are not controlled by a central plan or leader; they operate according to small local interactions, where individual agents don't have a picture of the global system, and yet they are building. This is like so much in our lives, from political movements and opinion-making to traffic jams and how crowds move.
