SCATTER

David Bird’s Scatter is inspired by the elliptical orbit of Halley's Comet around the sun, the elliptical shape of Manhattan, and the orbits of transportation in city life. Scatter maps these celestial and commonplace commutes into a singular experience. This project features recorded performances by Duo Axis, design by Myles Emmons, and development by Devin Frenze.
