I knew that the use of drones in performances was mostly in the photography technology of live shows. The design of a set of drones of this scale is refreshing and captivating. I think this is a technological innovation, and to be able to control so many drones at the same time to form different patterns, probably requires a very sophisticated programming technique and coordination. It looks like outside is a better place to use a drone. But perhaps weather and air currents also affect drone control. Indoors can be challenging too. For example, Grown ups in our school originally intended to use drones indoors, but it was not used because of various policies and safety concerns. Perhaps in the future, there will also be more robust systems indoors that will allow people to think about using drones for all sorts of creative ideas, pushing the boundaries of performance art and storytelling.
