Fly by Night

The performance, created by artist Duke Riley, is called “Fly by Night.” It is presented by Creative Time and the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

“At the call of a whistle, thousands of birds will emerge from their home in a grand, converted historic boat docked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard,” the description for the exhibition explained. “The pigeons will circle above the river as the sun sets over Manhattan, and small leg bands, historically used to carry messages, will be replaced with tiny LED lights, illuminating the sky in a transcendent union of public art and nature.” Story from CBS New York - here.
