Shows that made the news.

From the first 3D drone show at Art Basel to a thousand drones over Central Park, our shows have been covered by news organisations, design press and music media around the world. A selection, with links to the original stories.

What the press said

“When we see a flock of drones perform like a flock of birds, we have those expectations on a beautiful collision course”
Marc Glimcher, president of Pace Gallery, The New York Times
“But when you have 300 swarming before you, it really becomes a living entity.”
Ralph Nauta, CNN Style
“That duality—of individualism and community—is what the drones are mimicking to enrapturing effect.”
Wired
“It was a special gesture of hope and encouragement for everyone working day and night to ensure the freedom and health of others”
