Flying Data 2021

An interactive drone performance, created for the Re-Think Festival 2021, Sweden

An interactive drone performance, created for the Re-Think Festival 2021 in Norrlandsoperan, Umeå, Sweden by choreographer Nina Kov, featured lasers, smoke, projection and nine small indoor drones to tell a story about the world’s inequality and injustices.

Drones were controlled and monitored using Skybrush Live with several successful performances throughout a course of three days. Show trajectories were planned in Skybrush Studio. This project also illustrates the capabilities of Skybrush Live for supporting multiple drone types and positioning systems so it becomes able to perform not only standard GPS-based outdoor shows but also indoor shows with smaller drones, in areas where GPS reception is not available.
