The lord of the fireflies
03.06.2019
H18:30
Solo su prenotazione
The Friday afternoons at Istituto Svizzero are dedicated to our residents. It is an opportunity for the public to learn more about the projects they are working on during this year’s residency.
Curated by Robin Meier, Roma Calling fellow 2018/2019.
When we vote, how does each person make up their mind? Do starlings use some kind of telepathy to coordinate their movements across hundreds of meters in the sky? How do thousands of fireflies synchronize their flashing? And could these collective movements somehow be manipulated?
A week after the European elections, we explore collective decision making in insects, birds and humans in conversation with Jérôme Gautheret, correspondent for Le Monde in Italy and Claudio Carere, ethologist and ornithologist at the University of Tuscia.
Programme:
Introduced by the projection of Synchronicity, a film on synchronizing fireflies in Thailand, the conversation will continue in Tor Marancia on a night walk in a park searching for live fireflies.
The talk will be held in Italian.
