About HERD

HERD is an art + science experimental co-creation that explores the correlations between and impacts of herding behaviors in humans and animals. To discover the many facets of herding behavior, on micro- and macro-levels, HERD combines science, engineering, economics, psychology, sociology, networking, and urban planning with movement, sound, performance, costume, and digital media. The animal in each of us is revitalized, revealing the powers of the collective herd to further social innovation – in our physical and virtual worlds.

HERD activates through workshops, gallery exhibitions, speaking engagements, urban games, public installations, and performances. Various partnerships currently include universities, art institutions, professional science associations, and other community organizations.
