Creative AI is focused on the use of machine learning and deep learning, and it’s refreshing to discover projects that borrow tools and concepts from complex systems and swarm intelligence, a collective behaviour of self-organising systems, whether natural (a bee swarm, hence the name) or artificial.

wAIggledance researches the aesthetic and philosophical implications of collectivity and agent self-organization from a swarm of “kilobots”, small robots that can execute simple algorithms, that move by engine vibration, and that can  exchange messages with their neighbors in a radius of approximately 10 centimeters.

In movement, they generate sounds that, depending on the level of synchronization in their movement, rhythmic patterns emerge.
