Flock, The Big Draw

I went to a 'Big Draw' event called Flock, which entailed making bird postcards using a painting machine and bird stencils that we had to cut out and design ourselves. The idea was to get many people involved with making bird postcards, then write a few thoughts about travel and migration on the back of it. Post cards were first sent from the equator in Uganda, and then flew north via Camberwell. Then the post cards we created were added on to this 'flock' to be sent by mail to  Ullapool (Scottish highlands) and eventually arriving in Stornoway (Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides). This imitation of migration carried out by us is an interesting idea, and i wish to fashion it to my project by making birds migrate via the internet in a different way.
