Quadcopters
Following its world premiere at the Linz Klangwolke in September 2012, the Ars Electronica Futurelab’s (AT) computer-controlled swarm of quadcopters—took to the air again on Saturday, March 23, 2013 in a role and setting no less spectacular than the exciting technology itself: as high-tech heralds of Paramount’s “Star Trek – Into Darkness” that’s opening in movie theaters on May 9th. A squadron of 30 LED-studded AscTec Hummingbird quadcopters will hover above Potters Fields Park near London’s Tower Bridge and, in conjunction with Earth Hour, will form a three-dimensional Star Trek logo in the night sky.
