Flunstellas

Flunstellas are all around us



What are Flunstellas?

Flunstellas are flocks clusters and constellations, of ideas, emotions and memories, that appear in social spaces.

Flunstellas are all around us.

Teenagers at Weatherhead High School worked with artist Neil Winterburn to show us what it would be like if they could see each others thoughts and feelings in class.

They created 3D models of different types of ideas, emotions and memories and explored how they appear and interact, through the story of Charlie, a girl in their class with problems at home.

Their simulation games and large scale sculpture ‘Charlies Thought Constellation’ were exhibited at FACT Liverpool, as part of the Knowledge Lives Everywhere exhibition.

Courses

Between January and March 2011 a group of 16 young people took part in the first ever Flunstellas course. The course which was a collaboration between FACT & Weatherhead High School in Wallasey, ran over thirteen weeks.

During this time the young people explored what it would be like if they could see Flunstellas in the classroom. The games and models designed by the young people were exhibited in the FACT atrium as part of the Knowledge Lives Everywhere exhibition, as was the huge installation, Charlies Thought Constellation.
