MagicLab - 24 Drone Flight

My latest production, utilizing autonomous drones, quadcopters, flying close to and around my body like a flock of trained birds. As legislation about the use and safety of flying drones is being debated around the world, this is a timely demonstration.

Working with Daito Manabe, Motoi Ishibashi, and their team at Rhizomatiks Research in Tokyo, the goal is to create an intimate and artistic interaction between man and machine.
