Drone shows as arts performances have become a growing trend globally. Today, they are a regular at international festivals, with a number of permanent drone shows starting to pop up. Most of them are splashy spectaculars, seasonal or indoor shows using on average a maximum of 200 to 600 drones.
The market is beginning to become populated with event providers, such as Dronisas and SKYMAGIC and, in Australia, the Melbourne-based studio RAMUS – which is breaking new ground with its latest show, Wintjiri Wiṟu, launched this week over Uluṟu.
