    Summary
    We present an adaptive technique for the formation of multiple co-propagating and stationary filaments in a gaseous medium. Wavefront shaping of the initial beam is performed using a deformable mirror to achieve a complete two-dimensional control of the multi-spot intensity pattern in the laser focus. The spatial organization of these intensity spots yields reliable formation of up to five stable and stationary filaments providing a test bed for fundamental studies on multiple filamentation
