DRONE

Donna Legault (CA)

DRONE draws on research into the physical dynamics of insect flight and behavior. The installation video merges images from the documentation of live bees with their robotic counterparts that are currently being developed by micro-robotics labs in the U.S. and Japan.

The projected light, in collaboration with participants’ movements, generates a live soundscape that is tuned to bee flight and communication behaviors offering a speculative engagement with the tangible sonic experience of bee activities.
