A LITTLE SKY, FULL OF LIFE
THREE INSTINCTS, NO CONDUCTOR
A murmuration is a moving flock of starlings. This small artificial flock follows local separation, alignment and cohesion rules: every bird reacts to its neighbours, without a leader or a planned shape. It is an artistic model, not a complete account of bird behaviour.
Try this: choose Ribbon, turn “Turn together” up, then scatter the flock. Give it time to settle. Compare with Wander. Pause whenever a shape catches your eye; you can still orbit around it.
Disturb the sky: turn this on, then press or drag in the sky to push nearby birds away. Turn it off to orbit again. On a keyboard, S sends a disturbance through the middle of the flock.
Desktop WebGL recommended. Touch drag is supported. Everything happens on your device. No sign-in or credits needed.
