Watch Flying Birds Turn Into Art in this Amazing Time-Lapse Video

Ever spent an afternoon staring up at the sky, getting lost in the clouds as they lazily float by, catching brief glimpses of the occasional plane, and of course, watching the birds fly around in their chaotic patterns. As you get lost in their flight patterns, did you ever try and trace where they’ve been?

A professor from the Rhode Island School of Design did just that and turned it into art in the video below! The artist, Dennis Hlynsky, used film and software to track the flight patterns of multiple birds in the skies over Providence, R.I. He made a number of videos at different locations and the results are stunning! He uses a variety of physical and electronic media to create his art, including video, software, and even 3D.

The video below is called “Starlings at Sunset” and features numerous starling birds flying to and from power lines. Hit play to check it out, and be sure to watch more of Hlynsky’s bird tracking videos and work on his Vimeo page.
