Are human beings developing or destroying the world?

According to The McGloughlin Brothers, we are doing both – a paradox they play out in their magnificently dizzying film: ‘SWARM’.

“There is a celebration of the human ability to create sophisticated environments in which we inhabit, but also a concern at the price that we are paying for this,” they say on the film.

“Feeling alien is easy here.”

Blending abstract natural forms with the rigid structures of manmade design, the film is a story of how human beings have come to dominate the earth, making it both beautiful and terrifying.
