JAN ADRIAANS, ‘SWARMING CHANTS’, BIJ V2_
Strat 6:30 pm — Swarming Chants is based on sound recordings of various football fans from across Europe. The work explores how their chants spontaneously erupt during football matches and become a collective singing voice without a singular body or defined epicentre. Jan Adriaans connects these chants with the swarm intelligence observed in flocking birds or swarming fish, which involves an unconscious process whereby individual action is subordinated to the dynamic of a group.
