JUGGLING – DRONES – INETRACTIVITY – DIGITAL ARTS

Telekinetic juggling

The artist presents us with a novel way of juggling, taken from science fiction. With zero physical contact, the objects/drones fly, following a rhythm defined by the person manipulating them; the juggler directs the drones by simply pointing at them with his gloved hand. The drones follow his hand movements in a somewhat hypnotic fashion, creating the impression of being alive. A novel form of juggling is born at the meeting point of poetry and technology.
