3,000 Drones Mimic Bird Murmurations in Record-Breaking Art Installation
During the first half of December 2023, six Guinness World Records were broken during the critically acclaimed light festival Noor Riyadh. Among the impressive performances was Desert Storm by Dutch design studio DRIFT. In its largest performance ever, the studio used 3,000 drones to mimic the movements of a bird swarm. This poetic blend of art and technology was inspired by starling murmurations.
