Lantern Swarm completes a 900 km migration nobody planned
obxium ▪ press
Limoges, France — Lantern Swarm was released at dusk over the Limousin and was last logged nine hundred kilometres north-east, seven nights later. No route was planned and none was needed.
Each lantern is paper, beeswax and a seed packet. Mycel nudged the swarm away from airports and toward open fields, and the wind did the rest. People along the way picked up the lanterns that came down, and many of them planted the seeds.
“We didn't make it happen. We made it possible for it to happen, and then we waited.”

What comes next
